Trial Outcomes & Findings for Nilotinib 800 Mg And Imatinib 800 Mg For The Treatment Of Patients With Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (Gist) Refractory To Imatinib 400 Mg (NCT NCT00751036)

NCT ID: NCT00751036

Last Updated: 2014-03-26

Results Overview

Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from date of randomization to the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a participant has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the time of last adequate tumor assessment. Progression is defined according to modified RECIST criteria as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, worsening of the non-target lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 months

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) consisted of all randomized patients. Following the intent to treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment which they were assigned at randomization.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is the time from date of randomization to the date of first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a participant has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the time of last adequate tumor assessment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: every 2 months until 24 months (end of study)

Population: Full analysis set (FAS): consisted of all randomized patients. Following the intent-to-treat principle, patients were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were assigned at randomization.

The Disease Control Rate (Complete Response(CR), Partial Response (PD) and Stable Disease (SD) rates for each treatment arm will be computed using the exact Clopper-Pearson interval estimation methodology. DCR is defined as the percentage of patients with a best overall response of • CR, i.e. at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart without loss of response between the determinations, • PR, i.e. at least two determinations of PR or better at least 4 weeks apart before progression (and not qualifying for a CR) and without loss of PR between the determinations, or • SD lasting at least 24 weeks, i.e. at least one SD or better response at least 24 weeks after randomization (and not qualifying for CR or PR).

TTF, defined as the time from date of randomization to the earliest of date of the first objective tumor progression, date of death due to any cause, or date of discontinuation due to reasons other than 'Protocol deviation' or 'Administrative problems'.

. OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause or the date of last contact prior to or on the date of data cutoff. The median time to overall survival and its associated 95 % CI will be derived, for each treatment arm, using the time to event analysis based on Kaplan-Meier methodology.
