Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Time-to-Treatment Failure (TTF)8 months

Will be calculated from date of randomization (after the end of induction chemotherapy) to first radiological progression (according to RECIST 1.1) or death or start of a new chemotherapy (induction regimen or second line) or end of maintenance treatment without further chemotherapy, even if there is no radiological progression. Patients alive with no radiological progression and under maintenance treatment will be censored at the date of last news.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)3 years

Defined as the time between randomization and death (any cause). Patients alive will be censored at the date of last news.

Quality of Life (QoL)3 years

Assessed at each evaluation with a questionnaire

Progression-free survival (PFS1)16 months

Defined as the time between randomization and the first radiological progression (according to RECIST 1.1) or death (whatever occurs first). Patients alive and without progression will be censored at the date of last news.

Progression-free survival (PFS2)16 months

Defined as the time between the end of maintenance treatment (whatever the reason is) and the radiological progression after this end of maintenance treatment or death whatever the cause. Patients alive and without progression will be censored at the date of last news.

Safety3 years

Toxicities will be graded according to the NCI-CTC v 4.0 criteria before each cycle.
