Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Safety of the administered treatment, assessed by: - All treatment-related adverse events (AEs) according to CTCAE; - All serious adverse events (SAEs); - All postoperative complications","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessed by all treatment-related adverse events (AEs) according to CTCAE, all serious adverse events (SAEs), and all postoperative complications."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Percentage of patients discontinuing treatment due to treatment-related adverse events • Percentage of patients getting to resection after preoperative chemotherapy","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured as percentage of patients discontinuing treatment due to treatment-related AEs and percentage of patients reaching surgical resection after preoperative chemotherapy."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Assessed by the pharmacokinetic parameters and peritoneum/plasma ratio during the second treatment cycle","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Pharmacokinetic parameters and peritoneum-to-plasma concentration ratio measured during the second treatment cycle."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Assessed by comparing UGT1A1 genotype and pharmacokinetic parameters in the peritoneal cavity","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Comparison of UGT1A1 genotype with pharmacokinetic parameters of irinotecan in the peritoneal cavity."}
