   description

   Solid tumor response is per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (ver 1.0). For CLL: complete remission (CR) requires the following for\>=2 months 1) no symptoms attributable to CLL, 2) normal physical examination, 3) absolute lymphocyte count\<4,000/µL, 4) ANC\>1,500/µL, 5) platelets\>100,000/µL, 6) hemoglobin\>11 g/dL, 7) bone marrow lymphocytosis\<30%, 8) no nodules in bone marrow. Partial response (PR) requires the following for \>=2 months 1) decrease in previously enlarged nodes, spleen, and liver by \>=50%, 2) ANC\>=1,500/µL or platelets\>=100,000/µL, 3) hemoglobin\>=11 g/dL, 4) 50% improvement over pre-therapy reductions in hemoglobin and/or platelets. For MM, CR is no monoclonal protein (M-protein) in blood and urine and \<5% plasma cells in bone marrow on \>=2 determinations \>=6 wk apart \& stable bone disease \& calcium levels. PR is\>50% and \>90% decreases in serum \& urine M-protein, respectively, on \>=2 occasions for \>=6 wk, stable bone disease \& calcium.
