Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
361 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are placed into groups randomly, like flipping a coin. This ensures that the study is fair and unbiased, making the results more reliable. By assigning participants by chance, researchers can better compare treatments without external influences.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Non-randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned based on specific factors, such as their medical condition or a doctor's decision.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
Participants receive different treatments one after the other, switching from one to another during the study. This helps researchers understand how individuals respond to multiple treatments.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Single-group assignment
: Everyone gets the same treatment.

Parallel assignment
: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the effectiveness of the treatment is controlled
In a placebo-controlled study, some participants receive the experimental treatment, while others receive an inert substance (placebo) to compare outcomes. This method helps to isolate the effect of the treatment from the psychological effects of receiving any treatment at all.

Other Options
Non-placebo-controlled
: No placebo is used. All participants receive the actual treatment or alternative interventions (often the Standard of Care), and comparisons are made between these treatments.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving which treatment. This is the most rigorous way to reduce bias, ensuring that expectations do not influence the results.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Open-label
: Everyone knows which treatment is being given.

Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Study Objectives
Primary Objectives

Time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression based on the assessment of an independent, third-party imaging laboratory using RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors).

Time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression based on the assessment of an independent, third-party imaging laboratory using RECIST (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors).
Secondary Objectives

Time from randomization to first documentation of objective tumor progression or to death due to any cause (on treatment or within 28 days of last dose).

Number of subjects alive at end of study.

Time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause.

time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause (rank preserving structural failure time method).

Tumor response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

Overall confirmed objective response = confirmed Complete Response (CR) OR confirmed Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST. Confirmed responses were those that persisted on repeat imaging study ≥ 4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

Time from date of randomization to first documentation of objective tumor response that was subsequently confirmed. TTR was only calculated for the subgroup of subjects with a confirmed objective tumor response.

Time from randomization until the last time the performance status was no worse than at baseline or to death due to cancer in the absence of previous documentation of performance status worsening.

25th Quartile: Time to Progression. Progression: a) No change (NC) in MPQ-PPI score (0=no pain to 5=excruciating pain) with increase total analgesic use \>= 50% over baseline OR b) Increase score \>= 1 point with either NC in total analgesic use or increase total analgesic use \>= 50% over baseline. (50th Quartile not achieved.)

MPQ-PPI: 0=no pain to 5= excruciating pain. Pain Relief Response= 1) Decrease by \>= 1 points in MPQ-PPI score with either Decrease or No Change in total analgesic use \>= 50% over baseline OR 2) No change in MPQ-PPI score with Decrease total analgesic use \>= 50% over baseline.

Change: median score at observation minus median score at baseline. EQ-VAS score on the self-rated "thermometer," indicating the patient's own assessment of their health status from 0 (worst) to 100 (best) imaginable health state.

Change: median index score at observation minus median index score at baseline. EQ-5D is a generic instrument that describes health status in 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, usual activities) with a weighted health Index based on general population values where where 0.0 = death and 1.0 = perfect health.
