- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary objective with the study is to evaluate treatment with chemotherapy with a platinum- and a topoisomeras inhibitor containing regimen versus treatment with the same chemotherapy with addition of enoxaparin comparing overall survival.;Secondary Objective: Second objectives are:<br>To evaluate toxicity<br>To evaluate clinically significant haemorrhagia<br>To evaluate progression free survival<br>To evaluate thromboembolic events<br>To perform translational research;Primary end point(s): To demonstrate that addition of enoxaparine to standard chemotherapy treatment containing a platinum- and a topoisomeras inhibitor drug results in a significant increase in overall survival.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During study treatment, at follow up 2 and 12 months after end of treatment, and then untill patients death.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Toxicity<br>Clinically significant hemorrhage<br>Progression free survival<br>Thromboembolic events<br>Relation between different serum- and tumour markers and prognosis with or without enoxaparin;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: During study treatment, at follow up 2 and 12 months after end of treatment.
