Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), changes from baseline in vital signs and laboratory results (hematology, blood chemistry, lipid profile) qualifying and reported as AEs. Although a patient might had two or more adverse events the patient is only counted once in a category. The same patient might appear in different categories. AESI: Adverse events of special interest.

Safety analysis set

The best overall response for each patient is determined from the sequence of investigator overall lesion responses according to RECIST 1.1: Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of target lesions, Partial Response (PR) was >=30% decrease in sum of diameter of lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) was >=20% decrease in sum of diameter of lesions, Stable Disease (SD) does not qualify for PR, CR or PD, Unknown=not documented or assessed. To be assigned a best overall response of CR at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart before progression are required. To be assigned a best overall response of PR at least two determinations of PR or better at least 4 weeks apart before progression (and not qualifying for a CR) are required. The Overall response rate (ORR) is the percentage of patients with a best overall response of confirmed complete (CR) or partial (PR) response. The 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed using the Clopper-Pearson method

Clinical benefit rate: Patients with best overall response rate of CR (any duration), PR (any duration) and SD with duration of 24 weeks or longer according to RECIST 1.1 criteria: Complete Response (CR)=disappearance of target lesions, Partial Response (PR) was >=30% decrease in sum of diameter of lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) was >=20% decrease in sum of diameter of lesions, Stable Disease (SD) does not qualify for PR, CR or PD, Unknown=not documented or assessed. Best overall response of CR = at least two determinations of CR at least 4 weeks apart before progression are required. Best overall response of PR = at least two determinations of PR or better at least 4 weeks apart before progression (and not qualifying for a CR) are required. The Overall response rate (ORR) is the percentage of patients with a best overall response of confirmed complete (CR) or partial (PR) response. The 95% confidence intervals (CI) were computed using the Clopper-Pearson method.

PFS is time from date of start of treatment to date of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

b Percentiles with 95% CIs are calculated from PROC LIFETEST output using method of Brookmeyer and Crowley (1982)

Time to deterioration of ECOG performance status, from baseline will be assessed using the ECOG Performance Status Scale (Oken, 1982). Time to deterioration is the time from date of start of treatment to the date of the event defined as deterioration. Deterioration is defined as an increase in performance status from 0 to 2 or greater, an increase in performance status from 1-2 to 3 or greater, or death due to any cause. Event-free probability estimate is the estimated probability that a patient will remain event-free up to the specified time point. Event-free probability estimates were are obtained from the Kaplan-Meier survival estimates.
