| Number of Subjects With Clinical Benefit (Complete Response [CR], Partial Response [PR] or Stable Disease [SD}) and Progressive Disease (PD) Based on the Best Overall Response (BOR) | Number of subjects with clinical benefit (CR, PR, or SD) and PD according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST Version 1.0) was reported. CR: defined as disappearance of all target and all non-target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of longest diameter. PD:defined as at least a 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study) or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. SD: defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of longest diameter while on study. | Baseline until disease progression (assessed up to end of treatment [253 weeks]) |
