long as the subject is receiving a biologic dose or has been on a stable,

plans on continuing to receive the stable, non-biologic dose during study
participation.

The primary endpoint for this study is the objective response rate (ORR). The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR assessed by the investigator. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The ORR will be calculated along with the corresponding exact two-sided 90% confidence interval (CI). For the full analysis, the study will be considered successful if there are at least 10 responders out of 34 PPS subjects.
Subgroup analyses of ORR will be conducted on each level of the following baseline variables:
Age (< 60-, >= 60)
Race (White, Black, Asian, Other)
