PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: during the first 4 months

Population: ITT set, N=125

The primary efficacy variable was defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of CR by Week 16/Month 4 based on local assessment according to RECIST (Version 1.0). This is an at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter.

Time to tumor progression defined as the time from start of treatment to observed tumor progression (censoring for death without progression) as stated in the original protocol was not evaluated as stated in section 9.8.3 of the clinical study report.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during 12 months

The best overall response is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence

Due to number of censored cases (insufficient number of participants with measurable events) Upper Limit CI was not possible to calculate.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during 12 months

The OS rate could not be calculated due to the high number of censored cases. Number of censored, n (%) 108 (86.4). Only available data is number of events. OS was defined as the time from first study drug administration to death from any cause. If a patient was not known to have died, survival was censored at date of last contact.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: during 12 months

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from first study drug administration to objective tumor progression or death from any cause. If a patient has not had an event, PFS is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
