| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Progression Free Survival (PFS) | During treatment and two weeks after end of treatment, assessed up to 21 months | PFS is defined as the time from start of treatment until disease progression or death. |
| Objective Tumour Response | During treatment and two weeks after end of treatment, assessed up to 21 months. | Objective Tumour response according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST v 1.0). Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR), CR+PR. Stable disease is Responses not fulfilling CR, PR or progressive disease (PD). PD is At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, OR the appearance of one or more new lesions. |
| Duration of Response | During treatment and two weeks after end of treatment, assessed up to 21 months | DOR is defined among responders, as the time from the initial documentation of response to the date of disease progression or death, whichever occurs earlier. |

Stable disease is Responses not fulfilling CR, PR or progressive disease (PD). PD is At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started, OR the appearance of one or more new lesions.
Time frame: During treatment and two weeks after end of treatment, assessed up to 21 months.
