Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryProgression-free Survival at ≤12 MonthsUp to 12 months
Probability of participants (expressed as a percentage) without disease progression at less than or equal to12 after start of treatment: Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)/total number of patients assessed. Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study).
PrimaryProgression-free Survival at ≤ 36 MonthsUp to 36 months
Probability of participants (expressed as a percentage) without disease progression at less than or equal to 36 months after start of treatment: Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR)/total number of patients assessed. Per RECIST v1.1, CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study).
PrimaryProgression-free Survival at ≤ 48 MonthsUp to 48 months
Probability of participants (expressed as a percentage) without disease progression time from treatment initiation to disease progression or death from any cause or last follow up. Per RECIST v1.1: Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study).
PrimaryAcute Toxicity / DLT RateUp to 6 monthsThe number of patients who experience unacceptable toxicity during protocol treatment as measured by the NCI CTCAE version 4.0
Primary1-year Locoregional Failure RateUp to 1 year
Percent probability of participants for which time to locoregional failure (TTLRF) (calculated from treatment initiation to locoregional failure, or censored at other failure, death, or the last follow up; death is not an event) is less than 1 year. Locoregional failure is disease recurrence in either the location or regional location of the original disease, as opposed to a distant site.
Primary3-year Locoregional Failure RateUp to 3 years
Percent probability of participants for which time to locoregional failure (TTLRF) (calculated from treatment initiation to locoregional failure, or censored at other failure, death, or the last follow up; death is not an event) is less than 3 years. Locoregional failure is disease recurrence in either the location or regional location of the original disease, as opposed to a distant site.
SecondaryProgression-free Survival (PFS)Up to 48 months
Median number of months from treatment initiation to disease progression or death from any cause or last follow up. Per RECIST v1.1 Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study).
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS)Up to 48 monthsThe length of time from start of study treatment that patients are still alive.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at ≤ 12 MonthsUp to12 monthsProbability of patients (expressed as a percentage) still alive at less than or equal to 12 months after start of study.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at ≤ 36 MonthsUp to 36 monthsProbability of patients (expressed as a percentage) still alive at less than or equal to 36 months after start of study.
