NOTE. Patients were tabulated by clinical benefit (clinical benefit v no clinical benefit) and metabolic response (partial metabolic response [PMR] v stable metabolic disease [SMD]/progressive metabolic disease [PMD]). Clinical benefit was defined as confirmed complete response plus confirmed partial response plus stable disease ≥ 24 weeks. Patients with unconfirmed complete response, unconfirmed partial response, stable disease < 24 weeks, and progressive disease as best response were considered nonresponders for this analysis. Metabolic response was based on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer criteria.
