Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Overall Survival Rate | 2 years after last patient enrolled | Overall survival rate is defined as the percentage of participants who are alive up to 2 years from enrollment |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| progression-free Survival (PFS) | 2 years after last patient enrolled | Progression-free survival is defined as the time between date of enrollment and first date of recurrence or death, whichever occurs first.Recurrence is defined as the appearance of one or more new lesions, which can be local, regional, or distant in location from the primary tumor site ( assessed by imaging or pathology). All deaths without prior recurrence are considered as PFS events. |
