PFS, calcolata per ogni paziente come il tempo trascorso dalla data di inizio del trattamento alla data di prima progressione o morte per ogni causa, a seconda di quale evento si verifica per primo. Le pazienti non in progressione o vive alla data dell’analisi saranno censorizzate alla data dell’ultima valutazione di malattia.

E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
PFS: at the date of first progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Sopravvivenza libera da progressione (PFS) verrà rilevata alla data di prima progressione o morte per ogni causa, a seconda di quale evento si verifica per primo. Le pazienti non in progressione o vive alla data dell’analisi saranno censorizzate alla data dell’ultima valutazione di malattia. Sopravvivenza globale (OS) verrà rilevata alla data di morte per ogni causa. Le pazienti che risultano essere vive alla data dell’analisi saranno censorizzate alla data dell’ultima valutazione di malattia. Beneficio clinico verrà rilevato dopo 12 settimane di terapia di mantenimento. La sicurezza e la tollerabilità dei trattamenti in studio verranno valutate durante tutta la durata della sperimentazione. |
