Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression Free Survival(PFS) [6 months]
PFS is defined as the time from Day 1 of treatment until the progression of a target lesion or the appearance of new lesions.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Median Overall Survival (mOS) [2 years]
- Overall Survival [3, 6, 12 and 18 months]
- Adverse Events [6 months]
