Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Complete Response and Partial Responsefrom randomization, This treatment was given every two weeks,responses were made by biweeklyResponse assessed by type-B ultrasonic tests; Complete remission (CR) was considered when the accumulated fluid had disappeared and was stable for at least four weeks; partial remission (PR) was considered when \>50% of the accumulated fluid had disappeared, symptoms had improved, and the remaining fluid had failed to increase for at least four weeks; The total efficiency ORR was calculated by taking the sum of CR+PR

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)baseline to biweekly,until disease progression
Overall Survival (OS)randomization to four weeks,until death
Adverse ReactionsUp to 1 month after the last treatment
