Registered outcomes5

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryProgression Free Survival (PFS) as Assessed by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1)From randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, until 330 PFS events were observed (approx. 4.3 years for MGT Cat 1 and 3.4 years for Chemotherapy Cat 1).
This efficacy objective was to evaluate the efficacy of MGT vs platinum chemotherapy in term of PFS in participants with CUP whose best response to 3 cycles of platinum induction chemotherapy was assessed CR, PR, or SD.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS)From randomization to death from any cause (approx. 4 years)
SecondaryObjective Response Rate (ORR)Two consecutive occurrences of complete or partial response >/=4 weeks apart (up to approximately 4 months)
SecondaryDuration of Response (DOR)From the first documentation of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 4 years)
SecondaryDisease Control Rate (DCR)From randomization to death from any cause, through the end of study (approximately 4 years)
