PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: at 8 weeks

Population: Patients who received treatment for \>= 8 weeks. 14 study patients were treated for \< 8 weeks due to toxicity (5), disease progression (5), did not receive study drug (1), respiratory failure (1), drug held more than 28 days (1), patient withdrawal (1). The remaining 13 participants did not have a progression-free survival at 8 weeks.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at 4 months

Population: Participants who received treatment for 4 or more months. The remaining 10 participants received treatment for less than 4 months and were not evaluable.

Per RECIST criteria v. 1.0: measurable lesions: CR disappearance of target lesions, PR \> 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, PD \> 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions or appearance of new lesions, SD neither sufficient decrease nor increase of the sum of smallest sum of the LD of target lesions
