Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Tumor response rate (complete or partial response according to RECIST)Every 6 weeks

The proportion of subjects with either complete or partial response according to the modified RECIST criteria was calculated as best overall response after 6 courses of therapy (i.e., before Course 7).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of complete or partial tumor responseEvery 6 weeks

Defined as the time between the first date that confirmed complete or partial response was established as "overall response" and the first date that recurrence or overall response of progressive disease was documented

Time to tumor progressionEvery 6 weeks

Defined as the time from the start of study treatment to the first objective evidence of tumor progression, symptomatic deterioration, or death from cancer
