Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Response Rate (RR)
Every 8 weeks

Response rate (complete response \[CR\]+ partial response \[PR\]) was evaluated using the revised Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guideline (version 1.1). * Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. * Partial response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. * Progressive disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. * Stable disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
After completing at least 1 cycle (8 weeks) of treatment

Sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) in patients eligible for efficacy analysis.
