Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants involved in primary study will complete a range of patient reported outcome measures at 6-12 week intervals for up to 2 years. These measures will include assessment of health related quality of life, anxiety and depression and unmet supportive care needs. Optional sub-studies will involve nutritional assessment, functional assessment and donation of additional blood for the analysis of inflammatory markers.

Statistical methods / analysis
Primary analysis will describe the trajectory of change in Health-related Quality of Life from baseline by time and treatment group using linear mixed models.
Associations of secondary endpoints will be evaluated by entering each of the factors as time-varying covariates in separate linear mixed models.
Secondary endpoints will be evaluated in an exploratory, hypothesis-generating analysis to avoid over interpreting the data. They will be compared between treatment groups and possible relationships of these endpoints with Health-related Quality of Life assessed at baseline and at various points of treatment follow up. Correlation between each primary and secondary endpoint will be evaluated.
Change in Quality of Life during disease progression will be measured by a mean change score, calculated by subtracting patient baseline scores from the mean of their scores at follow-up. Between group differences will be summarised by the average of patient’s mean change scores and compared between with a mean change of zero using t-tests.
Multiple regression with be used to assess the effect of potential prognostic factors on Health-related Quality of Life.
Overall survival is an exploratory endpoint and will be described by the Kaplan-Meier method. A stratified log-rank test will be used to describe overall survival between the groups.
