ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryObjective Response Rate (ORR) Using Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)27 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions. Subjects who discontinue due to clinical progression prior to post-baseline tumor assessments were considered as non-responders.
SecondaryNumber of Patients Experiencing a Grade 3 or Above Treatment-related Adverse Event (AE)29 monthsWhen calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v4.03) will be counted only once for a given subject.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS)38 months
OS is defined as the duration of time from start of study treatment to time of death (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at 6 Months6 monthsOS is defined as the proportion of subjects who are alive at 6 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at 12 Months12 monthsOS is defined as the proportion of subjects who are alive at 12 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at 24 Months24 monthsOS is defined as the proportion of subjects who are alive at 24 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) at 36 Months36 monthsOS is defined as the proportion of subjects who are alive at 36 months. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryDuration of Response (DOR)27 months
Duration of response (DOR) will be calculated for subjects who achieve a best overall response of CR or PR. DOR is defined as the number of months from the start date of PR or CR (whichever response is recorded first) and subsequently confirmed to the first date that recurrent or progressive disease or death is documented. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.
SecondaryProgression Free Survival (PFS) at 6 Months6 months
PFS is defined as the proportion of patients without disease progression (PD or relapse from CR) or death due to any cause at 6 months. Disease progression will be assessed using RECIST (version 1.1). Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is \<30% decrease or \<20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
SecondaryProgression Free Survival (PFS) at 12 Months12 months
PFS is defined as the proportion of patients without disease progression (PD or relapse from CR) or death due to any cause at 12 months. Disease progression will be assessed using RECIST (version 1.1). Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is \<30% decrease or \<20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
