Plus–minus values are means ±SD.

Previous duration of disease was measured from the date of diagnosis to the date of the first dose of study treatment. An unknown day of diagnosis was imputed as mid-month for one patient.

The extent of disease was measured before treatment initiation as the sum of the longest diameters of tumor target lesions.
