E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate Overall Survival (OS) of CPI-613® (devimistat) plus mFFX versus FFX. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate Progression-Free Survival (PFS) of CPI-613® (devimistat) plus mFFX versus FFX
• To determine efficacy of devimistat plus modified FOLFIRINOX (mFFX) compared to standard care FOLFIRINOX (FFX) in terms of Objective Response Rate (ORR). ORR is defined as Complete Response (CR) plus Partial Response (PR).
• To evaluate Duration of Response (DOR)
• Safety Analysis: The assessment of safety will be based mainly on the frequency of adverse events based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 4) grade. Adverse events will be coded according to MedDRA. The safety outcomes will include the occurrence of at least one serious adverse event, of at least one grade 3/4 adverse event, and of at least one adverse event requiring the discontinuation of study treatment. QTc intervals will be also evaluated as part of safety analysis.
• To assess PK of devimistat
