Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Response rate (RR)
Responses are evaluated every 8 weeks according to WHO criteria. The determination of responses and progression was initially based on investigator-reported measurements; computed tomography scans of all responding patients and of patients with stable disease were subsequently subjected to external review by an independent panel.
Responses are evaluated every 8 weeks according to WHO criteria and reviewed by an independent panel at the end of treatment (6 months)
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progressions are evaluated every 8 weeks according to WHO criteria and reviewed by an independent panel at the end of follow up (36 months)
Overall survival (OS)
For survival analysis participants are followed until death
Postchemotherapy radical (R0) surgical resection rate of metastases
Postchemotherapy radical (R0) surgical resection rate of metastases were evaluated every 8 weeks during treatment and during follow up (36 months)
Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability were evaluated every 2 weeks during treatment and every 8 weeks during follow up (36 months)
Quality of life (QoL)
Quality of life was evaluated every 2 weeks during treatment and every 8 weeks during follow up (36 months)
