Pathologic Complete Response
16.7 percentage of participants
Interval 5.9 to 34.2

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 8 - 16 weeks

Overall response = Complete response (CR) + Partial Response (PR). Evaluated via endoscopic ultrasounds, PET and CT scans of the chest: Complete Response (CR) applies to participants complete disappearance of all measurable and evaluable disease. No new lesion. No disease related symptoms. No evidence of non-evaluable disease, including tumor markers and other laboratory values. Partial Response (PR) applies to participants with at least 50 percent reduction in the sum of the products of bi-dimensional perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions. No progression of evaluable disease. No new lesions.
