Per LRC, CR based on PET-CT was defined as complete MR in lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites with a score of 1, 2, or 3 with or without residual mass, on 5PS, where, 1= no uptake above background; 2 = uptake ≤ mediastinum; 3 = uptake > mediastinum but ≤ liver; 4 = uptake moderately > liver; 5 = uptake markedly higher than liver and/or new lesions; no new lesions and no evidence of FDG-avid disease in bone marrow. The analysis was done 6-8 weeks after Cycle 6, Day 1 (each cycle is 21 days) or after final dose of study treatment.

Description An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product, any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease (a worsening in the character, frequency, or severity of a known condition), recurrence of an intermittent medical condition not present at baseline, any deterioration in a laboratory value or other clinical test that is associated with symptoms or leads to a change in study treatment or concomitant treatment or discontinuation from study drug or adverse events that are related to a protocol-mandated intervention, including those that occur prior to assignment of study treatment.
