What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progress-free survival(PFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
Progress-free survival(year) is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of the first progress at any site or death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival(OS)
Time Frame: 3 years
The OS(year) was defined as the duration from the date of random assignment to the date of death from any cause or censored at the date of the last follow-up.
3 years
Locoregional failure-free survival(LRFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
The LRFS(year) is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first locoregional relapse or until the date of the last follow-up visit.
3 years
Distant metastasis-free survival(DMFS)
Time Frame: 3 years
The DMFS(year) is evaluated and calculated from the date of random assignment until the day of first distant metastases or until the date of the last follow-up visit.
3 years
Overall response rate
Time Frame: 12 weeks after completion of concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Tumour response(CR/PR/SD/PD) was classified according to RECIST v1.1
12 weeks after completion of concurrent chemoradiotherapy
Incidence of acute and late toxicity
Time Frame: 3 years
Incidence of acute toxicity（Grade1/2/3/4） is calculated for each adverse event respectively and severity is evaluated on basis of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.0 criteria. Late radiation toxicities were assessed using the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer late radiation morbidity scoring scheme

Primary Completion (Anticipated)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
