MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) Responders and Non-responders at Month 6Month 6Number of participants with PFS responders and non-responders at Month 6 was reported. PFS was defined as the time from the date of the first dose of amatuximab to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause, as determined by independent radiologist based on the modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) utilizing the total tumor measurement (performed by computerized tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) which includes the pleural unidimensional measure plus the total of the target lesion(s) measurement. A response, in terms of PFS, was defined to be at least a 6-month stabilization of disease. Progressive disease (PD) as measured by Modified RECIST was defined as an increase of at least 20 percent (%) in the total tumor measurement over the nadir measurement, or the appearance of one or more new lesions.

Tumor assessments performed up to the initiation of further anticancer therapy were considered.
