Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To assess whether changes in quantitative tumor perfusion parameters after 3 or 6 weeks of treatment, as measured by power Doppler ultrasound, can predict initial objective response, defined by current standard-of-care, to therapy at 12 weeks after start of treatment
