SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year after the start of administration in the concomitant radiotherapy phase

Population: Response rate in terms of tumor response (ratio of CR + PR) in 19 participants was assessed by Efficacy and Safety Evaluation Committee. 19 participants were found to have measurable lesions. Nineteen participants (as opposed to 30 participants) were analyzed because that is how many participants were still alive 1 year after start of therapy.

CR = measurable lesion disappeared. PR = total sum of lesions measurable in bidimension decreased by 50% or more on whole and no secondary progression attributable to tumor was noted. No onset of new lesion.
