What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression Free Survival(PFS)

    PFS was calculated as days from the date of registration until the earliest date of documented disease progression, death, or censoring event.

    Measured: From the date of registration until the earliest date of documented disease progression, death, or censoring event.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Antitumor Activity

    Antitumor activity was evaluated by measuring the rate of objective response using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines. Per RECIST Criteria (V1.0) and assessed by CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR)= CR + PR.", or similar text that was as accurate and appropriate.

    Measured: Obtain a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis (if clinically indicated) within 28 days prior to study entry and repeat at the end of every 2 courses thereafter.

  2. Overall Survival

    Patient survival for both subgroups was followed up every 2 months until 28 Feb 2011.

    Measured: 12 months after enrollment of the last patient

  3. Safety

    Toxicities were evaluated at each course of therapy using the CTCAE ver. 3.0 or a non-CTC grading scale for toxicities that were not covered by the NCI CTC.

    Measured: Monitor patients for untoward medical events from the time of signed informed consent form, including toxicities from previous treatment and any ongoing or newly reported AEs or SAEs during the 30 days after the last dose of study medication.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression Free Survival(PFS) (time frame: From the date of registration until the earliest date of documented disease progression, death, or censoring event.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
