SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 2 months for up to 6 months.

Population: Data were not analyzed as the study was prematurely closed.

CT and PET scans will be performed at baseline and then every two months. Target and Non-Target Lesions will be identified and recorded at baseline. When subsequent scans are performed, anti-tumor responses will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).
