Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free survival

    The time from date of randomization until date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, assessed up to 3 years.

    up to 3 years

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Overall survival

    up to 3 years

  • Locoregional recurrence-free survival

    up to 3 years

  • Distant metastasis-free survival

    up to 3 years

  • Number of participants with hematologic toxicity events occurred during two cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to CTCAE v4.0

    1, 2, 3 weeks post-dose

  • Number of participants with acute toxicities (hematologic toxicity events, oral mucositis, acne-like rash) occurred during the concurrent treatment according to CTCAE v4.0

    participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 6 weeks

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
