E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Safety run-in endpoints • Occurrence of immune related or radiation therapy related toxicity of special interest • Feasibility of delivering a sufficient dose of paclitaxel and ddAC • Feasibility of performing surgery within a specified timeframe after the last neo-adjuvant treatment Phase II Primary endpoint · Residual cancer burden (RCB 0 vs. RCB 1-2-3) at time of surgery. RCB 0 is defined as pathological complete response (pCR) and RCB 1 is defined as minimal residual disease. RCB is calculated as a continuous index combining pathologic measurements of the primary tumour (size and cellularity) and nodal metastases (number and size) as defined by Symmans et al.
