* Any evidence of other malignancy within last 5 years, with exception of non-melanoma skin cancer

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Tumor Response

Best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria that defines when participants improve ("respond"), stay the same ("stable"), or worsen ("progression") during treatment.

Time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease (up to 5 years)

Secondary Outcomes

Duration of Response

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.

Time frame: time of initial response until documented tumor progression (up to 5 years)

Progression-Free Survival

The period from study entry until disease progression, death or date of last contact.

Time frame: baseline until documented tumor progression (up to 5 years)

Overall Survival

Overall survival is the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who are alive, overall survival is censored at the last contact.

Time frame: baseline until death from any cause (up to 5 years)
