E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To compare the effectiveness of TAK228 plus weekly paclitaxel with weekly paclitaxel alone as treatments for women with advanced/recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer resistant to platinum chemotherapy, based on progression free survival (PFS). PFS is the length of time during and after a treatment that each patient lives with the cancer but it does not grow significantly. In a clinical trial, measuring the progression-free survival is one way to see how well each treatment works. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To compare the effectiveness of TAK228 plus weekly paclitaxel and weekly paclitaxel alone as treatments for women with advanced/recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer resistant to platinum chemotherapy, based on the following:
- Progression free survival (PFS) at 24 weeks
- Overall response rate (ORR). This means the proportion of patients for whom the cancer significantly shrinks (called partial response) or disappears completely (called complete response) after a treatment
- Duration of response (DoR), meaning that in patients with partial or complete response, the length of time between that response and the cancer significantly growing
- Time to progression (TTP). This means the length of time measured from a patient entering the study and the cancer growing significantly or spreading to other parts of the body
- Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR). This is similar to ORR but also includes patients for whom the cancer neither significantly grows or shrinks (cal |
