Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical Benefit Response Rate (CBR)Up to 799 days of treatmentCBR rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR), confirmed partial response (PR) ,or stable disease (SD) ≥ 24 weeks. Based on RECIST, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as a greater than or equal to 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesion. SD is defined neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest dimensions since the treatment started.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to 799 days of treatmentORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed CR or confirmed PR. Based on the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST), CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and PR is defined as a greater than or equal to 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesion.
Tumor ShrinkageUp to 799 days of treatmentTumor shrinkage is defined as the percent change from baseline for the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions in participants.
Progression-free Survival (PFS)Up to 799 days of treatmentPFS is defined as the time from registration to first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 3 years from the last subject registration to the studyOverall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from registration to documentation of death due to any cause.

SD is defined neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum longest dimensions since the treatment started.
