Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving Overall Disease Control (ODC)
Time Frame: Baseline, after every other cycle to disease progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
ODC was defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease at baseline who on assessment achieved complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease under baseline of the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions. SD defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since start of treatment. CR and PR were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were met.
Baseline, after every other cycle to disease progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)

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
Percentage of Participants Achieving a Best Overall Response of CR or PR
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Percentage of participants achieving CR or PR as defined by RECIST criteria. CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions, non-target lesions, and normalization of tumor marker level. PR was defined as ≥30% decrease under baseline of the sum of the LD of all target lesions. CR and PR were confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were met.
Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
PFS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to investigator assessed disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Progression was based on tumor assessments made by the investigators according to RECIST.
Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
PFS - Time to Event
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
PFS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to investigator assessed disease progression, or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Progression was based on tumor assessments made by the investigators according to RECIST. Median PFS was estimed using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Duration of Response
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle until progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Duration of response was defined as the time in months from the day of CR or PR was first noted to the day of progression of disease, death or last follow-up. Median duraiton of response is estimated sing the Kaplan-Meier method.
Baseline, every cycle until progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Duration of Overall Disease Control
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle until progression or death. (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
ODC duration was defined as the time in months, from when measurement criteria were first met for CR, PR, or SD (whichever status was recorded first) until the first date when progressive disease or the death from any cause was documented. Data were censored for participants who were lost to follow-up, discontinued prematurely without progression/death, or who reached the end of study without progression. Median ODC was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Baseline, every cycle until progression or death. (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Overall Survival (OS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
Overall survival was defined as the time from start of study treatment to death from any cause.
Baseline, every cycle to progression or death (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
OS - Time to Event
Time Frame: Baseline, every cycle to progression or death. (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
OS was defined as the time from start of study treatment to death from any cause. Median OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Baseline, every cycle to progression or death. (Maximum of 52.5 months follow-up)
