Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Response RateUp to 8 cycles (1 cycle is 35 days: 280 days)

The proportion of response-evaluable subjects who achieved a confirmed complete response (CR) or complete response unconfirmed (CRu). Disease response and progression were evaluated according to modified International Workshop Response Criteria (IWRC) criteria by radiographic imaging and other procedures as necessary.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response RateUp to 8 cycles (1 cycle is 35 days: 280 days)

The proportion of subjects who achieve CR, CRu, or partial response (PR) relative to the response evaluable population. Disease response and progression were evaluated according to the modified IWRC criteria by radiographic imaging and other procedures as necessary.
