Trial Outcomes & Findings for Temozolomide Alone or With Pegylated Interferon-Alpha 2b (PGI) in Melanoma Patients (NCT NCT00525031)

NCT ID: NCT00525031

Last Updated: 2020-09-23

Results Overview

Response to neoadjuvant therapy reported as number of participants with clinical response, defined as Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD). Clinical Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all clinical evidence of visible tumor. Partial Response (PR) : 30% or \> decrease in the sum of the of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter persisting for at least 4 weeks. Progressive Disease (PD): \> 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, reference baseline sum longest diameter. Appearance new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, reference smallest sum longest diameter since treatment started.
