Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response RateUp to disease progression, more than 30.12 monthsOverall Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator. And ORR is based on Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free SurvivalUp to disease progression, more than 30.12 monthsProgression-Free Survival (PFS) rate is defined as the proportion of patients who are alive and have not experienced disease progression at a specified time point and is defined from the date of first dose (or randomization) to the earliest date of objective disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
The 3-year Survival RateFrom the 1st date of IP administration to the date of deathThe 3-year survival rate is defined as the proportion of patients alive at 3 years from the date of first dose, estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. And it was calculated at the point of data cut-off.
