Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients Alive and Without Radiological and/or Clinical Progression 6 Months After the Randomization6 months after randomization

The primary endpoint was the rate of patients alive and progression-free 6 months after randomization.

Progression was assessed by the investigator and defined radiologically according to RECIST v1.1 criteria and/or clinically as deterioration of general condition not related to treatment, palpable tumor masses on clinical examination (adenopathy, tumor hepatomegaly, peritoneal carcinosis), pleural effusion, ascites.

Patients who progressed or died before 6 months were considered to have failed the primary endpoint at 6 months.

The 6-month imaging was the imaging done at 6 months with a +/- 1 month window.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best ResponseUp to the end of treatment on the average of 12 months

Best response is defined as the best response for each patient regarding imagerie taken during the treatment. Response was evalauted according to RECIST v1.1 over the entire treatment period according the investigator

Progression-free Survival (PFS)up to 12 months after randomization

It was defined as the time between t randomization and the date of the first radiological progression (RECIST 1.1 criteria) and/or clinical progression according to the investigator or death (whatever the cause is); Patients alive without progression were censored at date of last news

Overall Survival (OS):Up to 2 years after the treatment start

Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the patient's death (all causes). For alive patients, the date of last news was taken into account
