Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response12 monthsPercentage of participants with objective response based assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR). CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR is defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimension of the target lesion

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
time-to-progressionup to 24 monthsThe period from study entry until disease progression, death, or date of last contact.
overall survivalup to 24 monthsOS is the duration from enrollment to death.
