E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To identify factors predictive of a favourable outcome, in terms of survival free from an unfavourable event, in patients treated with everolimus as second line treatment for metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) after failure of a first-line treatment with a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitor. |
Identificare fattori predittivi di sopravvivenza libera da un evento non favorevole in pazienti trattati con everolimus in seconda linea per carcinoma renale metastatico dopo fallimento di una prima linea con un inibitore del fattore di crescita dell'endotelio vascolare (vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate: • efficacy in terms of progression free survival of everolimus as second line treatment; • health related quality of life (HRQoL), as measured by the EQ-5D questionnaire; • drug-related toxicity, assessed by the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE), version 4.03; • treatment compliance.
|
Valutare: • L’efficacia in termini di sopravvivenza libera da progressione; • La qualità di vita correlata alla salute (HRQoL) valutata mediante il questionario QoL EQ-5D; • La tollerabilità, valutata secondo la scala del National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE); • La compliance al trattamento.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Survival free from an unfavourable event, calculated in each patient as the time from the date of written informed consent provision to the date of occurrence of the first among the following events: death from any cause, disease progression (according to RECIST 1.1), interruption of everolimus due to toxicity and/or deterioration of clinical conditions, and HRQoL deterioration (7-point decrease from baseline evaluation on the EQ-5D visual analogue scale). |
Sopravvivenza libera da un evento non favorevole, calcolata in ciascun paziente come il tempo intercorso tra la data di firma del consenso informato e la data d’insorgenza del primo tra i seguenti eventi: morte per qualsiasi causa, progressione di malattia (secondo i criteri RECIST 1.1), interruzione di trattamento per tossicità e/o scadimento delle condizioni cliniche e/o peggioramento della qualità di vita correlata alla salute (diminuzione di sette punti rispetto al basale sulla scala QoLEQ-5D VAS); |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At the end of the study, i.e. when the target number of events is reached and the last patient enrolled events is reached and the last patient, is followed for at least 12 months |
Alla fine dello studio, ossia quando è stato raggiunto il numero di eventi e quando l'ultimo paziente arruolato sarà stato seguito per almeno 12 mesi |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Progression free survival, calculated in each patient as the time from the date of written informed consent provision to the date of first progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first; • EQ-5D questionnaire score; • Treatment compliance; • Maximum toxicity grade experienced by each patient for each specific toxicity, giving the frequency of patients experiencing adverse events that are recorded as grade 3-5 (also grade 2 for neurotoxicity); • Type and frequency of serious adverse reactions.
