SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to approximately 20 weeks

The Best Overall Response (BOR) is the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the disease progression/recurrence, scored as one of the following: Complete Response (CR); Partial Response (PR); Stable Disease (SD) or Progressive Disease (PD). Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), a CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. A PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. PD is defined as At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study.
