ETS was defined as the relative change in the sum of longest diameters of RECIST target lesions at week 8 in TRIBE and GONO studies, week 6 in FIRE3 study, compared to baseline.

DpR was defined as the relative change in the sum of longest diameters of RECIST target lesions at the nadir, in the absence of new lesions or progression of non-target lesions, as compared to baseline.
