E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To assess the efficacy (as measured by objective tumor response) of nab-paclitaxel in combination with either carboplatin or gemcitabine in treatment-naïve patients with CUP. |
Valutare l’efficacia, misura obiettiva della risposta tumorale (RECIST), del nab-Paclitaxel in combinazione con il carboplatino o la gemcitabine in pazienti CUP non precedentemente trattati. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To assess the duration of response, time to progression (TTP) and overall survival (OS) of CUP patients after nab-paclitaxel- gemcitabine or nab-paclitaxel- carboplatin; - to evaluate the safety of combining nab-paclitaxel with gemcitabine or carboplatin in CUP patients treatment.
|
- Valutare la durata della risposta, il tempo alla progressione (TTP) e la sopravvivenza (OS) dopo trattamento con gemcitabina o carboplatino più nab-Paclitaxel; - valutare la sicurezza della combinazione di gemcitabina e nab-paclitaxel o carboplatino e nab-paclitaxel nel trattamento dei pazienti CUP.
