What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate

    Time frame: The best response until the end of 6th treatment cycle

Secondary outcomes

  1. CR rate

    Time frame: CR or CRu until the end of 6th treatment cycles

  2. Progression free survival

    Time frame: Progression or death which comes earlier, observed until 12 weeks after the completion of the treatment in the last patient

  3. Overall survival

    Time frame: Death, observed until 12 weeks after the completion of the treatment in the last patient
