Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
6-month Progression-free Survival6 months after first dose

Percentage of patients who's disease had not progressed at 6 months. Disease progression defined as radiological and/or symptomatic disease progression or death in absence of progression.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalUntil time of disease progression, as assessed every 21 days (maximum 28.8 months)

Median time until disease progression. Disease progression defined as radiological and/or symptomatic disease progression or death in absence of progression.

Overall Survival at 12 Months12 months from 1st dose

Percentage of patients alive after 12 months of study treatment

Overall SurvivalFrom first study treatment until time of death (maximum 29.0 months)

Median number of months from first study treatment until time of death

Best Tumor ResponseWhile receiving study treatment; assessed every 21 days until progression (maximum 28.8 months)

Change in size of tumor: Complete Response (CR) = no measurable tumor; Partial Response (PR) = 30% decrease in size of measurable tumor; Stable Disease (SD) = measurable tumor size has not changed; Progressive Disease (PD) = measurable tumor larger than at baseline

Duration of Tumor ResponseWhile receiving study treatment; assessed every 21 days until progression (maximum 28.8 months).

Median length of time that tumor showed any type of response, ie, CR, PR, or SD
