- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) rate at 12 months according to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 12months ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the starting date of study drug to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) according to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 36 months ]ORR is defined as the proportion (%) of patients with at least one visit response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).
- Progression-free survival (PFS) according to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 36 months ]Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the starting date of study drug to the date of first documentation of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 36 months ]OS is defined as the time from the starting date of study drug to the date of death due to any cause
- Progression-free survival 2 (PFS2) [ Time Frame: 36 months ]PFS2 is defined as the time from first intracranial disease progression to second/subsequent disease progression (intracranial or extracranial) after initiation of new anti-cancer therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
- Duration of Response (DoR) according to RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: 36 months ]DoR is defined as the time from the date for first documented response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the date of first documented of disease progression or death, whichever occurs first
- Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: 36 months ]TEAEs graded according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0
