Primary Outcome

Defined as the proportion of patients who have a MR, PR, or CR per modified RECIST 1.1. CR and PR are defined using the same criteria as in RECIST 1.1. MR is defined as a 15% or greater decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target lesions but not a PR. The MR+PR+CR response rate will be determined by dividing the number of patients with modified RECIST-based MR, PR, or CR divided by the number of evaluable patients
