Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 3105 0
Progression Free Survival (PFS) - PFS is the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of disease progression or death, whichever comes first. If neither event has been observed, then the patient is censored at the date of the last follow up examination.
Timepoint [1] 3105 0
The first follow-up (FU) will be performed 3 months after the start of therapy, then at 3-monthly intervals until progression. After progression patients are followed every 6 months for survival until death.
Secondary outcome [1] 5451 0
Overall survival
Timepoint [1] 5451 0
Measured every 3 months until progression and then every 6 months until death
Secondary outcome [2] 5452 0
Quality of Life
Timepoint [2] 5452 0
Measured by QLQ-C30 v3.0 and EORTC BN-20 every 3 months until progression, and then every 6 months until death
