Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: OS was followed continuously while participants were on the study drug and every 3 months ,minimum follow up for overall survival was 15.8 months ]
    The time from randomization to the date of death, data was based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS ) [ Time Frame: assessed every 6 weeks from the first dose to week 30, and every 12 weeks up to 34 months. ]

    the time from randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression (based on investigator assesment,using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)1.1 criteria) or death the data was based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates.

    PFS was censored when subsequent anti cancer therapy was started before progression.


  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Between the date of randomization and the date of progression or the date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy,whichever occurs first up to 34 months ]
    The proportion of all randomized Participants who achieved BOR(Best Overall response) from baseline is either a CR(complete response) or PR(Partial response),using the RECIST v1.1 criteria based on investigator assessment,CR+PR, confidence interval based on the Clopper and Pearson method
