Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Immunohistochemistry fraction of Estrogen Receptor is changed from 0% to 2% or more after imatinib treatment","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tumor tissue comparing ER fraction pre-treatment and in surgical specimen after imatinib; threshold change defined as 0% to ≥2%."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Immunohistochemistry fraction of Estrogen Receptor is changed from 1-9% to ≥10% after imatinib treatment","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) on tumor tissue; conversion defined as increase from 1–9% ER staining to ≥10%."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Immunohistochemistry fraction of Estrogen Receptor 1-9% increase with at least 2%, coupled with a significant increase luminal gene transcripts","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Combination of IHC ER fraction increase (≥2% within 1–9% range) assessed by IHC and molecular assessment of luminal gene transcripts (gene expression profiling) to confirm luminal transcriptional changes."}
