Registered outcomes10
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Number of Participants Who Died During the Study | Enrollment through Cycle 24 (4-week cycles), up to 24 months. | |
| Primary | Overall Survival (OS) During the Study | Enrollment through Cycle 24 (4-week cycles), up to 24 months. | OS was defined as the time, in months, from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause. Participants whose last recorded status was not death were censored. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Died at 6 Months | Enrollment through Cycle 6 (4-week cycles), up to 6 months. | |
| Secondary | OS At 6 Months | Enrollment through Cycle 6 (4-week cycles), up to 6 months. | OS was defined as the time, in months, from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause. Participants whose last recorded status was not death were censored. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants Who Died During the Study By Rash Grade | Enrollment through Cycle 24 (4-week cycles), up to 24 months. | |
| Secondary | OS By Rash Grade | Enrollment through Cycle 24 (4-week cycles), up to 24 months. | OS was defined as the time, in months, from the date of enrollment to the date of death due to any cause. Participants whose last recorded status was not death were censored. OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Disease Progression or Death | Enrollment, every 2 treatment cycles (4-week cycles) until disease progression, death, or end of study, for up to 24 months. | Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of document disease progression or death due to any cause. As per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) V 1.0, progressive disease (PD) was defined for target lesions (TLs) as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded since the start of treatment, and for non-target lesions (NTLs) as unequivocal progression of NTLs. Participants whose last recorded status was not PD or death were censored. |
| Secondary | PFS | Enrollment, every 2 treatment cycles (4-week cycles) until disease progression, death, or end of study, for up to 24 months | The time, in months, from enrollment to PFS event. Participants whose last recorded status was not progression or death were censored. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier methodology. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response (BOR) of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) According to RECIST | Enrollment, every 2 treatment cycles (4-week cycles) until disease progression, death, or end of study, for up to 24 months. | As per RECIST V 1.0: for TLs, a CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs; and a PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking as a reference the baseline (BL) SLD. For NTLs, a CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels. Participants for whom no assessment of response was available and who had finalized the study due to disease progression or tumor-related death, disease progression was considered the BOR. |
| Secondary | Percentage of Participants With Disease Control According to RECIST | Enrollment, every 2 treatment cycles (4-week cycles) until disease progression, death, or end of study, for up to 24 months. | Disease control was defined as BOR of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD). As per RECIST V 1.0: for TLs, a CR was defined as the disappearance of all TLs; and a PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SLD of the TLs, taking as a reference the BL SLD; SD was defined as neither sufficient decrease in SLD to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase in SLD to qualify for PD. For NTLs, a CR was defined as the disappearance of all NTLs and normalization of tumor marker levels; SD was defined as the persistence of one or more NTLs and/or maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits. Participants for whom no assessment of response was available and who had finalized the study due to disease progression or tumor-related death, disease progression was considered the BOR. |
