Trial design
Randomised, open-label, arm 1: trabectedin 1.5 mg/m2 as a 24-hour central intravenous (iv) infusion on day 1, q 22 days until disease progression or contraindications. arm 2: trabectedin (as in arm 1) plus ttf-ngr at the safe dose determined in the safety run-in (safety run-in starting dose 3 mg/m2). ttf-ngr administered as 1-hour rate-controlled infusion via port or central venous access, 0.9% nacl ad 100 ml, per day for up to 4 or fewer consecutive days following each trabectedin cycle (with ~1 hour between end of trabectedin infusion and ttf-ngr)., adaptive Phase III trial across 14 sites in Germany.

Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"-for the phase III randomized part: Progression-free survival (PFS) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours in cancer immunotherapy trials (iRECIST) as judged by central blinded radiology. iRECIST evaluation because of the observation within preclinical studies and clinical cases, that intratumoral swelling by blood pooling and vascular isruption can occur and lead to pseudoprogressions. Central blinded assessment of PFS is considered the relevant primary efficacy endpoint.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS measured according to iRECIST as judged by central blinded radiology (central blinded assessment). iRECIST used to account for potential pseudoprogression due to intratumoral bleeding/vascular effects."}
