Molecular profiling leads to improved targeted treatment


 

AT THE EUROPEAN CANCER CONGRESS 2013

The primary efficacy analysis for progression-free survival will be performed once 100 patients have been randomized into each study arm. Other analyses will determine the overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival, among other key endpoints.

The SHIVA trial is planned to run for 3 years, and as it is already a year in, "within 2 years the study will be finished," Dr. Le Tourneau said.

The SHIVA trial is funded by Institut Curie. Dr. Le Tourneau had no conflicts of interest.
