E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary outcome measure is to estimate the progression free survival (PFS) as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria, in women with recurrent low grade serous carcinoma of the ovary or peritoneum treated with Trametinib and compare this to PFS in women treated with commercially available agents consisting of one of five possible agents. PFS is defined as the duration of time from date of randomisation to date of progression or death, which ever occurs earlier. CA125 progression alone will not be considered as progressive disease. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Disease evaluation will be performed based on tumour imaging. All patients will undergo baseline evaluation tumour assessment with a CT scan or MRI of abdomen, chest and pelvis within 28 days prior to starting study treatment. The same modality should be used for the duration of the study. From date of randomisation for 15 months or until progressive disease occurs, patients will undergo imaging every 8 weeks. Patients who have not progressed at the end of 15 months will have subsequent imaging performed only if clinically indicated. Patients that come off treatment for reasons other than progression continue to have imaging scans at the specified time points. |
