Registered outcomes8
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | 18 Weeks Progression Free Survival (PFS) Rate | At 18 weeks | The product limit estimator developed by Kaplan Meier will be used to graphically describe progression free survival for patients randomized to each study arm. The 18 week progression-free survival rate was defined as the proportion of patients that were alive progression-free 18 weeks after registration into the study. Disease progression was assessed per modified RECIST criteria, and defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions, in either primary or nodal lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since the baseline measurements, or the appearance of new lesions. Kaplan-Meier estimate of 18-week progression-free survival was calculated. |
| Secondary | Overall Response Rate | Duration of Study (up to 3 years) | The proportion of patients who respond (completely or partially) to each combination regimen will be estimated. An exact binomial confidence interval will be computed for these estimates. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Grade 3, 4 or 5 Adverse Event at Least Possibly Related to Treatment. | Duration of study (up to 3 years) | The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3. Grade 1: Mild; Grade 2: Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life Threatening; Grade 5: Death. |
| Other | Overall Survival | Time from randomization to death (up to 3 years) | Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from patient randomization (arm assignment) to death from any cause. The median OS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Other | Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation Status | Duration of treatment (up to 3 years) | PFS was defined as the time from registration until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. The median PFS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is defined as in the primary outcome measure. EGFR mutations were performed at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute using a sensitive heteroduplex method coupled with enzymatic digestion as previously reported (Janne PA, et al: A rapid and sensitive enzymatic method for epidermal growth factor receptor mutation screening. Clin Cancer Res 12:751-758, 2006). All positive findings were independently verified and subjected to sequencing. The mutation analyses were blinded to the participants' clinical outcome. |
| Other | Overall Response Rate by EGFR Mutation Status | Duration of study (up to 3 years) | Response and EGFR mutation status are defined in previous outcome measures. |
| Other | Progression Free Survival With KRAS Mutation Status | Duration of study (up to 3 years) | Progression free survival is defined in previous outcome measures. GIven the small number of KRAS mutant participants, the analysis combines data from both arms. |
| Other | Overall Response Rate With KRAS Mutational Status | Duration of study (up to 3 years) | Overall response is defined in previous outcome measures. GIven the small number of KRAS mutant participants in each treatment arm, the analysis combines data from both arms. |
