E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the antitumor activity as progression-freesurvival at four months (PFS4) of PM01183 alone or in combination with gemcitabine as second-line treatment in unresectable NSCLC patients, using single agent docetaxel as a reference in the control arm as current standard of care. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
*To analyze the following in each of the three treatment arms:
- Time-to-event endpoints, such as: progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), overall survival rate at 1-year (OS12) and duration of response (DR).
- Antitumor activity, as response rate (RR) evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1.
- Safety and efficacy profiles of PM01183 alone and in combination with gemcitabine, to be preliminary compared with docetaxel.
- Patients’ quality of life (QoL) assessment.
- To explore the feasibility and safety of a PM01183 maintenance dose in non-progressing NSCLC patients.
- Pharmacokinetics (PK) of PM01183.
- PK/PD (pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic)
correlation in PM01183-based treated patients, whenever possible.
*Pharmacogenomics (PGx): To explore potential correlations between molecular parameters found in previous available tumor samples and clinical outcomes
achieved with PM01183-based treatment. |
