Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary endpoint is defined by a blinded independent centralized revue of progression free survival. cPFS is defined as the time from randomization until progression or death; patients alive and without documented progression at last follow-up news have PFS censored at this date or at initiation of new anticancer treatment (if applicable). Progression will be assessed by a blinded independent centralized revue of TDM per RECIST criteria 1.1","definition_or_measurement_approach":"cPFS defined as time from randomization until progression or death; progression assessed by blinded independent centralized review of CT scans (TDM) per RECIST v1.1. Patients alive without documented progression at last follow-up are censored at that date or at initiation of new anticancer treatment."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization until progression or deaths; patients alive and without progression at last follow-up news are censored at this date.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS: time from randomization to progression or death; censoring at last known progression-free date."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Overall survival (OS): OS is defined by the delay between randomization and the occurrence of death due to any cause. Patients still alive at the time of analysis (including lost of follow-up) will be censored at the last known alive date.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"OS: time from randomization to death from any cause; censoring at last known alive date."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Safety: safety will be assessed by the toxicity grading of the National Cancer Institute (NCI-CTCAE v 5.0, appendix 3). Adverse event (AE) occurrence will be detected by changes occurring in the course of treatment observed during clinical examination, in particular on vital signs (artery pressure, pulse, body temperature), in electrocardiogram (ECG) and biological tests (biochemistry, hematology). Use of concomitant treatments will be also taken into account.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Safety measured by NCI-CTCAE v5.0 grading of adverse events; detection via clinical exam (vitals), ECG, laboratory tests (biochemistry, hematology) and recording concomitant treatments."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Quality of life: Quality of life (QL) assessed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core QL questionnaire, the EORTC QLQ-C30 and Oes18 (Oesophageal Cancer Module).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Quality of life assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 and the Oes18 esophageal cancer module."}
