Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Who Had an Objective Response Rate(ORR) Based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Criteria.baseline to 12 monthsObjective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response(PR) divided by the total number of patients. RECIST criteria: CR = disappearance of all target lesions PR = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions PD = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet above criteria

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS)baseline to 4 monthsProgression free survival calculated using Kaplan-Meier Product Limit. Median PFS was not able to be calculated because the rate of PFS was below 50% at the end of follow-up period. Therefore, PFS percentage at 4 months is provided.
Overall Survival (OS)baseline to 12 monthsMedian Overal survival was not able to be calculated because the rate of OS was below 50% at the end of follow-up period. Therefore, OS percentage at 12 months is provided.
Safety Profile: Participants With Adverse Eventsbaseline to end of studySafety profile as defined by adverse events and serious adverse events throughtout the study period. Details listed in the SAE and Other AE section.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response(PR) divided by the total number of patients. RECIST criteria: CR = disappearance of all target lesions PR = 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions PD = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions SD (stable disease) = small changes that do not meet above criteria
