Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Tumor Response
Time Frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration. Data collected every 4 months.)
Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.
baseline to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration. Data collected every 4 months.)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of Response
Time Frame: first documented complete or partial response to measured progressive disease (eight 21-day cycles of therapy and follow-up period was 24 months starting from the date of the last drug administration.)
The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.
