SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 6 months

Population: Not all subjects completed 6 months of treatment.

Therapeutic response was assessed per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Criteria are: * 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 * Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions * Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria The outcome is reported as the number of participants with a documented clinical response (ie, either PR or CR) at 6 months after initiation of treatment.
