Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary endpoint is the rate of patients alive without progression at 6 months after inclusion","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Rate of patients alive without progression at 6 months after inclusion; main objective specifies assessment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Best Objective Response (BOR): BOR is defined as complete or partial response rate according to scans and RECIST v1.1 criteria over the entire treatment period.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Defined as complete or partial response rate according to imaging and RECIST v1.1 over the entire treatment period."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Progression free survival (PFS): PFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of the first radiological and/or clinical progression or the date of death (for whatever reason).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from randomization to first radiological and/or clinical progression or death (any cause)."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Overall survival (OS): OS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death (whatever the cause).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from randomization to death from any cause."}
