Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a Complete or Partial Tumor Response (Overall Tumor Response)baseline to measured objective tumor response (up to six 21-day cycles)

Tumor response is defined as the percentage of patients with either a complete response or a partial response. Response was determined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions and Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Treatment Failurebaseline to stopping treatment (up to six 21-day cycles)

Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first observation of disease progression, death as a result of any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment. Time to treatment failure was censored at the date of the last follow-up visit for patients who did not discontinue early, who were still alive, and who have not progressed.

Overall Survivalbaseline to date of death from any cause (up to 14.5 months)

Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

Estimated Probability of One Year Progression-free Survivalbaseline to measured progressive disease or death, 1 year

Progression free survival (PFS) is the duration from enrollment until first disease progression or death. For patients not known to have died as of the data cut-off date and who do not have progressive disease, PFS is censored at the last radiological assessment date.
