Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Confirmed PR defined as ≥30% decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum LD according to RECIST. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study ≥4 weeks after initial documentation of response. |
| Overall Survival (OS) | Baseline, assessed monthly until death or 7.5 months after last participant was enrolled (up to January 2011) | OS is time from baseline to death from any cause. Participants last known to be alive were censored at the date of last contact. |
| Progression Free Survival (PFS) | Baseline, assessed monthly until death or 7.5 months after last participant was enrolled (up to January 2011) | PFS is time from baseline to first progression (Prog) or death from any cause. Participants last known to be alive, had not started a new (non-protocol) cancer treatment, were Prog-free, and who had a baseline and ≥1 on-study disease assessment were censored at date of last objective disease assessment that verified lack of Prog. Participants who were off treatment prior to Prog and who had no on-study disease assessment were also censored. Prog: ≥20% increase in sum of longest dimension (LD) of target lesions from smallest sum LD recorded since treatment start or appearance of ≥1 new lesions. |
| Time to Progression | Monthly until death or 7.5 months after last participant was enrolled (up to January 2011) | Disease progression defined as ≥20% increase in sum LD of target lesions from smallest sum LD recorded since treatment start or appearance of ≥1 new lesions. Criteria for progression also included unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions. |

AUClast analyzed using a noncompartmental approach to estimate individual participant values. |
| Change (Pre-dose to Post-dose) in Plasma Cytokine Concentrations: Time of Maximum Concentration (TCYTOMAX) | Cycle 1 / Day 1 prior to gemcitabine infusion (0 hour), 5 minutes after EOI and 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after EOI; Cycle 1 / Day 3 prior to CP-970893 infusion (0 hour), 5 minutes after EOI, and 2, 4, 6, and 24 hours after EOI | An increase in values indicates greater cytokine release from cells targeted by the antibody and may be associated with an infusion reaction. Change calculated as mean of pre-dose and maximum post-dose values. |
| Total and Neutralizing Human Antihuman Antibody (HAHA) Titer | Prior to infusion of CP-870893 on Day 3 of every cycle up to a maximum of 12 cycles | HAHA assessed as an indicator of immunogenicity to CP-870893. |
