The concept of the VEX metronomic treatment is to administer the combination for as long as the patient has the possibility of deriving a benefit from it. The time to treatment failure (TTF) has been chosen as primary endpoint for this trial. TTF is defined as time from the date of randomization to the date when the final dose of trial treatment is administered. Chemotherapy may need to be stopped due to lack of tolerability, lack of efficacy or patient preference through subjective symptom assessment. TTF is a composite endpoint combining all these feasibility aspects of a treatment. It is therefore uniquely suited to the research question of the current trial. The secondary endpoints progression-free survival, disease control and safety will allow further assessment of the feasibility of the VEX metronomic treatment versus the paclitaxel monotherapy regimen.
