E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The sample size is calculated according to the two-stage (Minimax design) Simon method. Taking into account that the primary endpoint, the rate of pRC, is 40% for the optimal regimes (phase II studies unconfirmed) while the conventional schemes is 20%, with a difference p1-p0 = 20% between chemotherapy treatment "standard" (p0 = 20%) and "trial treatment" (p1 = 40%), and by fixing the probability of error α = 0.05 and β = 0.20, the number of patients to be enrolled is a total of 37 (increased of 10% for predictable dropouts). |
La dimensione del campione è calcolata in base al metodo di Simon a due stadi (Minimax design). Tenendo conto che l’endpoint primario, il tasso di pRC, è del 40% per i regimi ottimali (studi di fase II non confermati) mentre per gli schemi convenzionali è del 20%, con una differenza p1-p0=20% tra un trattamento chemioterapico “standard” (p0=20%) e “il trattamento in studio” (p1=40%), e fissando la probabilità di errore (=0.05 e =0.20), il numero di pazienti da arruolare complessivamente è di 37 (aumentato del 10% per i prevedibili dropouts). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
