Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 0 0
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Timepoint [1] 0 0
PFS is measured from the date of randomization until the date of first documented disease progression or date of death from any cause as determined by the Independent Radiology Committee (IRC) per RECIST 1.1, assessed for up to 17 months.
Secondary outcome [1] 0 0
Overall Survival (OS)
Timepoint [1] 0 0
OS was measured from the time of randomization until 320 deaths, approximately 28 months
Secondary outcome [2] 0 0
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Timepoint [2] 0 0
ORR was assessed at 8 weeks post-randomization, every 8 weeks for 12 months, and every 12 weeks until date of disease progression or death, up to May 2015 (approximately 21 months)
