Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants Progression-free at 9 Months Based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors v1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Patients with Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) at Month 9 were to be considered as "progression-free" based on RECIST v1.1. Patients with missing tumor assessment, or with overall lesion response "unknown" at Month 9 were considered as "non progression-free", unless any of the following assessments at Week 48 or Week 52 indicate CR, PR, or SD, in which case the patient was to be considered as progression-free at Month 9. Patients discontinuing the study for any reason prior to the 9 month assessment were to be considered as "non progression-free".
Baseline up to 9 months
Secondary Outcomes (11)
Summary of Progression-free Survival (PFS) Based on RECIST v1.1
Baseline, every 3 months up to 69 months
Kaplan-Meier Estimates of Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Baseline, every 3 months up to 69 months
Summary of Time to Response (Months)
Every 3 months up to Year 1
Summary of Duration of Response (Months)
Every 3 months up to Year 1
12-month Disease Control Rate (DCR) and Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Baseline up to Month 12
- +6 more secondary outcomes
