Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as the time from first treatment to death, regardless of disease recurrence.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS is defined as the time from the first treatment to progression or death.
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
ORR is defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as measured by modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) criteria.
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
DCR is defined as the percentage of patients who have achieved CR, PR or stable disease(SD), as measured by mRECIST criteria.
Incidence of Adverse Events (AE)
Incidence of AE is defined as the percentage of patients who suffer adverse events from the first treatment to last follow-up, assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0.
Time to Progression (TTP)
TTP is defined as the time from the first treatment to progression.
