NCT ID: NCT00192036

Last Updated: 2010-12-09

Results Overview

Response recorded at the first follow-up visit using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preliminary: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 3.5 years); Final: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 5 years);

Population: All enrolled participants.

Time to progressive disease is the time from the date of enrollment to the first date of documented disease progression. Patients who have not had disease progression will be censored at the date of the last follow-up visit. Patients dying because of reasons other than tumor progression are not included.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: every cycle (21 days) for 3 cycles (up to 10 weeks)

Population: All enrolled participants.

A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event term. Toxicities were graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) Version 2.0 grading scales. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death). Number of participants with clinically significant Grade 3 and Grade 4 toxicities occurring during induction chemotherapy are reported. Grade 3 events are severe and Grade 4 events are life-threatening.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Cycles 4 and 5 up to 8 weeks after the end of chemo-radiotherapy

Population: All enrolled participants receiving chemo-radiotherapy (Cycle 4).

A grading (severity) scale is provided for each adverse event term. Toxicities were graded according to NCI-CTC Version 2.0 grading scales. For specific radiation events, Radiation Therapy Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer late radiation toxicity scale was used. Grades range from 0 (none) to 5 (death). Number of participants with clinically significant acute Grade 3 and Grade 4 toxicities (worst severity) occurring during chemo-radiation and up to 49 days (8 weeks) after are reported. Grade 3 events are severe and Grade 4 events are life-threatening.
