Example 2 iUPD iPR, iSD, or NE iCR iCR, iUPD, or NE iCR, iPR, iSD, iUPD, iCPD, or NE iCR

Example 4 iUPD iSD or NE iPR iPR, iSD, iUPD, or NE iPR, iSD, iUPD, iCPD, or NE iPR
Example 5 iUPD iSD iSD, iUPD, or NE iSD, iUPD, iCPD, or NE iSD, iUPD, iCPD, or NE iSD
Example 6 iUPD iCPD Any Any Any iCPD
Example 7 iUPD iUPD (no iCPD) iCPD Any Any iCPD
Example 8 iUPD NE NE NE NE iUPD

Eight examples are presented for patients with target disease at baseline, but many more scenarios exist following the same principles. Table assumes a randomised study in which confirmation of complete response or partial response is not required. For patients with non-target disease only at baseline, only iCR or non-complete response or non-progression of disease can be assigned at each timepoint (not shown in the table for ease of presentation). “i” indicates immune responses assigned using iRECIST. iBOR=best overall response. iCR=complete response. iPR=partial response. NE=not evaluable. iUPD=unconfirmed progression. iCPD=confirmed progression. iSD=stable disease. RECIST=Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours.
