Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Best Overall Tumor Responsebaseline to measured progressive disease (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Treatment Failurebaseline to stopping treatment

Defined as time from enrollment to the date of death due to any cause, measured disease progression, treatment discontinuation for undocumented progression, early treatment discontinuation for toxicity or other reason, or new anticancer treatment started.

Progression-Free Survivalbaseline to measured progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Defined as the time from enrollment to the date of objective disease progression or death on study, whichever occurs first. Censoring was determined based on US-FDA 2005 draft guidance on clinical endpoints.

Duration of Responsetime of response to measured progressive disease or death (tumor assessments were performed every 2 cycles during study therapy, or 3 months during post-therapy until disease progression, or up to 12 months after enrollment)

Measured from the time of first documentation of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), whichever status is first recorded, until the date of objective disease progression or death on study, whichever occurs first, with censoring defined in the same way as for progression-free survival.

Overall Survival Probabilitybaseline to date of death from any cause

Original outcome was overall survival = time from date of enrollment to date of death due to any cause. Survival time was censored at date of last contact for participants who were still alive or lost to follow-up. Because only 8 participants had documented death while on study, results are reported as 6- and 12-month overall survival probability.
