NCT04637594 · STUDY IN CONTEXT
Trying to Find the Correct Length of Treatment With Immune Checkpoint Therapy
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 by searching ClinicalTrials.gov for this cancer type, restricted to studies that have posted results to the registry. No FDA notice, FDA label or NCI summary held by this site cites this study. Because the search asked for posted results, studies without posted results were never looked for, so their absence from this page means nothing.

Linked outcomes
OS is the length of time patients are alive after registering to receive protocol treatment. Patients who are lost to follow-up or are not known to be deceased at the time of study analysis will be censored at the time of last patient contact. Cox models will be used to compare the outcome between the two treatment groups.
Progression-free survival (PFS) is the length of time patients are alive without disease progression. Progression will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Stratified Cox models will be used to compare the outcomes between the two treatment groups.
Immune-related progression-free survival (iPFS) is the length of time patients are alive without immune-related progression. Progression will be assessed using immune related (ir)RECIST criteria. Stratified Cox models will be used to compare the outcomes between the two treatment groups.
Treatment-free Interval is the length of time patients are off treatment. A Stratified Cox model will be used to evaluate this outcome.
Rate of response is the percentage of patients with response after re-initiation of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy after progression post-registration. Rate of response will be assessed using RECIST 1.1. A chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test) will be used to determine whether there is an association between the best tumor response prior to trial enrollment and that achieved upon ICI re-challenge.
Adverse events (AEs) are ailments occurring during treatment. AEs will be assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.
