Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Response rate [defined as total number of patients with complete and partial response divided by number of response-evaluable patients] based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) in patients with no prior chemotherapy | Each 49 day course of treatment until withdrawal or unacceptable toxicity |
| Safety: incidence and severity of adverse events, laboratory test abnormalities | Each 49 day course of treatment until withdrawal or unacceptable toxicity |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Duration of response, [measured from the time that measurement criteria are met for complete or partial response until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documents] | Each 49 day course of treatment until withdrawal or unacceptable toxicity |
