Primary endpoints

• {"endpoint_text":"- First stage: The Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) will be assessed over the first 28-day cycles, according to the NCI CTCAE V5","definition_or_measurement_approach":"DLT assessed over the first 28-day cycles using NCI CTCAE V5 criteria."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- Second stage: Progression-free survival (PFS) computed as the time interval from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of centrally-assessed progression or death from any cause. The progression will be based on the RAPNO criteria. A central review of all imaging will evaluate tumor response and progressions at end of dose escalation phase and at end of expansion phase. PFS will be censored at the date of last visit.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS measured from treatment start to centrally-assessed progression or death, progression determined by RAPNO criteria; central imaging review at end of escalation and expansion phases; censoring at date of last visit."}

Secondary endpoints

• {"endpoint_text":"- Adverse events (type, grade) graded according to the NCI CTCAE V5, per 28-day cycle and over the whole treatment duration. All AE occurring during treatment or in the 28 days after end of treatment will be reported, regardless of reported causal relationship, except symptoms related to the underlying disease or disease progression.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"AE type and grade recorded per NCI CTCAE V5 by 28-day cycle and over entire treatment; report all AEs during treatment and 28 days after end of treatment except those related to underlying disease/progression."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- Tumor response during treatment, centrally assessed using RAPNO criteria. The best overall response will be defined as the best response recorded from beginning of treatment until disease progression","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Central assessment of tumor response using RAPNO criteria; best overall response defined from treatment start until progression."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- Overall survival, computed as the time interval from the date of beginning of treatment to the date of death from any cause. Survival of patients alive at last follow-up will be censored at the date of last visit.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"OS measured from treatment start to death from any cause; survivors censored at last visit."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- Relative dose-intensity of the different drugs, estimated for each drug as the ratio between the computed dose-intensity (cumulative dose expressed in mg/m² divided by the study duration and expressed in mg/m²/week) and the protocol dose-intensity.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Relative dose-intensity = (computed dose-intensity in mg/m²/week) / (protocol dose-intensity)."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- First stage: Calculate PK parameters of oral axitinib combined with etoposide","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Pharmacokinetic parameters of oral axitinib in combination with etoposide to be calculated (PK sampling/analysis as per protocol)."}
• {"endpoint_text":"- Ancillary study: exploration of molecular signature in blood or CSF - Progression-free survival, defined as the time from randomization to recurrence, development of second primary cancer, or death from any cause. Overall survival defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Exploratory molecular signature analysis in plasma/CSF; PFS and OS defined from randomization as described (ancillary study-specific definitions)."}
