What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Event-free survival
Time Frame: one year
Event-free survival is measured from the time from treatment initiation to any treatment failure including disease progression, or discontinuation of treatment for any reason (eg, disease progression, toxicity, patient preference, initiation of new treatment without documented progression, or death)
one year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
