Trial Outcomes & Findings for Alimta Plus Gemcitabine for Advanced Sarcoma (NCT NCT00860015)

NCT ID: NCT00860015

Last Updated: 2020-08-25

Results Overview

The best response rate will include patients with both Complete Response and Partial Response after 2 months of treatment. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: 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) = CR + PR.
