Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the Objective Response Rate [ORR; Complete Response (CR) plus Partial Response (PR)]Timepoint: After 3 cycles (after 9 weeks) and subsequently every 12-16 weeks or earlier if clinical suspicion of progression

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) Clinical Benefit Rate [CBR; CR plus PR plus stable disease (SD)] Evaluate the change in Quality of Life (QOL) at different time points To assess toxicity profile Timepoint: Progression free survival (PFS) will be assessed after confirmation of progression or death Overall survival (OS) will be assessed after death due to any cause Quality of Life (QoL) will be assessed at baseline and subsequently after every cycle (every 3 weeks) Toxicity profile will be assessed after every cycle (every 3 weeks)
