Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Objective response rate (ORR), defined as percentage of objective responses (partial and complete responses combined /PR + CR/ by iRECIST response criteria) in MRI after 12 weeks. a. Partial response (PR)- at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD b. Complete response (CR)- disappearance of all target lesions and short dimension of all lymph nodes < 10 mm","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Measured by iRECIST response criteria on MRI after 12 weeks; PR defined as ≥30% decrease in sum LD of target lesions versus baseline; CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions and short axis of all lymph nodes < 10 mm."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Progression- free survival (PFS) by iRECIST criteria- from the beginning of treatment to the progression of disease or death. Progression will be evaluated in MRI (after 6 months of treatment phase) and defined according to iRECIST criteria.\n- Overall survival (OS) rate- time of total survival – at 6 months (treatment phase), 12 months and 18 months (6th month and 12th month of long term follow up)\n- DCR per RECIST (disease control rate)- defined as not meeting the criteria for progression and PR; measured in MRI from the start of the treatment until the criteria for disease progression is met.\n- DoR per RECIST (duration of response) – measured in MRI from the time when measurement criteria for complete/ partial response are met till time when progression of the disease is documented.\n- Change in quality of life in EORTC QLQ-C30 (version 3.0) from baseline to last infusion.\n- Change in quality of life in EORTC QLQ-C30 (version 3.0) - from baseline to last follow up.\n- Safety assessment of treatment with Nivolumab : • total rate of patient, who discontinues from infusion due to excesive toxicity, measured after end of treatment phase • time from start of treatment to occurrence of excesive toxicity preventing from continuation the infusion of Nivolumab, assessed at each visit during treatment phase.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS: time from treatment start to progression or death assessed by iRECIST on MRI (evaluation after 6 months of treatment phase). OS: survival time evaluated at 6, 12 and 18 months. DCR: absence of progression and PR per RECIST on MRI. DoR: time from first meeting response criteria to documented progression per RECIST on MRI. QoL: change from baseline using EORTC QLQ-C30 v3.0. Safety: rates of discontinuation for toxicity and time to excessive toxicity assessed at each visit during treatment."}
