♦secondary endpoints are: overall survival, progression free survival, second progression free survival, clinical response, disease control and duration of response as measured by RECIST. Progression-free survival at 6 months, progression free survival, second progression-free survival and clinical response will also be assessed using irRECIST.
♦Tolerability will be summarized by the frequency of treatment regimen modification and reasons for stopping the treatment.

|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
