Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Tumor Response

    Best overall (confirmed) response recorded from start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence, start of other anti-tumor therapy/intervention, or end of trial, whichever comes first. Response must be confirmed at least 6 weeks from previous scans. Best overall response assignment depends on both measurement and confirmation criteria.

    Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until documented disease progression or for 6 months from last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first. After 6 months, clinical assessment every 12 weeks and radiologic test performed as clinically indicated

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Duration of (Confirmed) Complete Response or Partial Response

    Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until documented disease progression or for 6 months from last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first. After 6 months, clinical assessment every 12 weeks and radiologic test performed as clinically indicated

  • Time to Progressive Disease

    Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until documented disease progression or for 6 months from last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first. After 6 months, clinical assessment every 12 weeks and radiologic test performed as clinically indicated

  • Time to Treatment Failure

    Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until documented disease progression or for 6 months from last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first. After 6 months, clinical assessment every 12 weeks and radiologic test performed as clinically indicated

  • Overall Survival

    Every 6 weeks from start of treatment until documented disease progression or for 6 months from last dose of study drug, whichever occurs first. After 6 months, clinical assessment every 12 weeks and radiologic test performed as clinically indicated
