[]Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Overall Survival
- timeFrame
- Weekly while on protocol treatment, then every 3 months for 1 year, then every 6 months for 2 years.
- description
- Overall survival was defined as the duration from the date of registration to the date of death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive were censored at the date of last contact.
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Progression-Free Survival
- timeFrame
- Every 6 weeks until progression of disease.
- description
- Progression-Free Survival was defined as the duration between the date of registration and the date of first documentation of progression of disease or death due to any cause. Progression of disease was defined as a 50% increase in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of measurable lesions or an increase of at least 10 square centimeters, whichever was smaller, or clear worsening of non-measurable lesions in the opinion of the treating investigator, appearance of new lesions, reappearance of lesions that had previously disappeared, or symptomatic deterioration.
