SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 years

Overall response rate was evaluated every 2 cycles (six weeks) for both groups using international criteria by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECISTv1.0) for target lesions and were assessed by CT or MRI. Response rates were defined as complete response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; partial response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall response(OR) defined as OR=CR + PR
