Outcome(s)

Primary OutcomeSafety For evaluation of adverse events, we use "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (Japanese version)"
Secondary OutcomeSecondary outcomes of efficacy. As secondary outcomes of efficacy, we evaluate overall survival (OS), progression free survival (PFS), time to progression (TTP) and objective response rate (ORR). Both RECIST version 1.1 and mRECIST are used for evaluation of efficacy. Secondary outcomes of safety As secondary outcomes of safety, we evaluate the discontinuation rate due to adverse events. For evaluation of adverse events, we use "Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 (Japanese version)"
