NCT01524783 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Everolimus Plus Best Supportive Care vs Placebo Plus Best Supportive Care in the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Neuroendocrine Tumors (GI or Lung Origin)

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first. Progression was defined using modified RECIST 1.0 and as per central radiology assessment as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. Progression was assessed by cat scan (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). For participants who had not progressed or died at the analysis cut-off date, PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor evaluation date. An adequate tumour assessment is a tumour assessment with an overall response other than unknown. The percentage event-free probability estimate is the estimated probability that a patient will remain event-free in PFS up to the specified time point.

The full analysis set (FAS) consists of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment arm and stratification factors they were assigned to at randomization.

secondary · POSTED

OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. If a death had not been observed by the date of analysis cut-off, then OS was censored at the date of last contact. All participants randomized to placebo arm who crossed over to everolimus were censored.

ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), according to central evaluation and as per modified RECIST 1.0. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters.

DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with best overall response of CR or PR or stable disease based on modified RECIST 1.0 and as per central radiology assessment. CR: disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameters. Stable disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for progression.

FACT-G is a self-assessed health-related quality of life questionnaire. The questionnaire is comprised of 27 questions examining physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being. Participants responded to the items on a five-point scale, ranging from 0: "Not at all" to 4: "Very much." The total score ranges from 0 to 108, with higher scores indicating a better patient-reported outcome/quality of life. Definitive deterioration is defined as a decrease in the total score by at least 7 points compared to baseline with no further improvement. Death was considered as worsening of the FACT-G total score if it occurred close to the last available assessment, where "close" was defined as twice the planned period between two assessments. Patients without definitive worsening prior to analysis cut-off or prior to start of another anticancer therapy were censored at the date of their last assessment.

CgA is a potential biomarker for tumor response. Blood samples were collected for assessment of CgA levels. Change from Baseline at a particular visit was calculated as the CgA level at that visit minus Baseline.

The full analysis set (FAS) consists of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment arm and stratification factors they were assigned to at randomization. Number analyzed signified number of participants with available data for this outcome measure at specified timepoints.

The safety set consists of all participants who received at least one dose of the study drug and had at least one post-baseline safety evaluation. Participants were analyzed according to treatment actually received: One participant randomized to everolimus arm received only placebo and therefore, appears in the placebo arm in the safety set

    Time to Definitive Deterioration in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G) Questionnaire Total Score
    measure definition
    FACT-G is a self-assessed health-related quality of life questionnaire. The questionnaire is comprised of 27 questions examining physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being. Participants responded to the items on a five-point scale, ranging from 0: "Not at all" to 4: "Very much." The total score ranges from 0 to 108, with higher scores indicating a better patient-reported outcome/quality of life. Definitive deterioration is defined as a decrease in the total score by at least 7 points compared to baseline with no further improvement. Death was considered as worsening of the FACT-G total score if it occurred close to the last available assessment, where "close" was defined as twice the planned period between two assessments. Patients without definitive worsening prior to analysis cut-off or prior to start of another anticancer therapy were censored at the date of their last assessment.
    time frame
    From randomization to definitive deterioration of FACT-G total score, assessed up to approximately 3 years
