Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 in patients receiving Nalirifox per Napoli-3 regimen as first-line chemotherapy for advanced non-resectable small intestine and appendiceal cancers

This measure evaluates the safety and tolerability of Nalirifox per Napoli-3 regimen by reporting the number of participants experiencing treatment-related adverse events, graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Data will be collected through clinical assessments, including physical examinations, laboratory tests, and patient-reported adverse events, and summarized as the total count and severity of events per participant.

Time frame
Over 12 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Duration of response to Nalirifox per Napoli-3 regimen as first-line chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-resectable small intestine and appendiceal cancers, assessed by RECIST v1.1

This measure evaluates the duration of response to Nalirifox per Napoli-3 regimen, defined as the time from the first documented objective response (complete response or partial response) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Data will be collected through radiographic assessments (e.g., CT or MRI scans) at regular intervals and summarized as the median duration of response in months.

Time frame
Over 12 months
