What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. ORR

    overall response rate

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. OS

    OS is defined as the time from date of treatment start to the date of death from any cause or to the date of last follow-up if patients are alive. If a patient is alive by the time of final analysis, the patient will be censored at the last follow-up date.

    Time frame: 2 year

  2. AEs

    Defined as the proportion of patients with AE, treatment-related AE (TRAE), immune-related AE (irAE), serious adverse event (SAE), assessed by NCI CTCAE v5.0

    Time frame: 2 year

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was assessed by investigators per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: 2 year

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    DCR was assessed by investigators per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: 2 year

  5. Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was assessed by investigators per RECIST 1.1

    Time frame: 2 year
