Comparison of RECIST 1.1, irRC and iRECIST

RECIST 1.1 irRC iRECIST
Complete Response Disappearance of all target lesions or lymph nodes <10 mm in the short axis Disappearance of all target lesions or lymph nodes in 2 consecutive observations not less than 4 weeks apart Disappearance of all target lesions or lymph nodes <10 mm in the short axis
Partial Response >30% decrease in tumor size or ≥15% decrease in tumor attenuation at CT, no new lesions ≥50% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline in 2 observations at least 4 weeks apart >30% decrease in tumor size or ≥15% decrease in tumor attenuation at CT, no new lesions
Progressive Disease >20% increase of SPD of target lesions with an absolute increase of ≥5 mm, new lesions ≥25% increase of SLD compared with nadir (at any singe time point) in 2 consecutive observations at least 4 weeks apart Differentiation between iUPD and iCPD (see below), iUPD can result in PR or CR
Stable Disease None of the above None of the above None of the above
New Lesions Results in PD Results in PD that has to be confirmed in 2 observations at least 4 weeks apart Results in iUPD and consequently in iCPD if additional new lesions appear or an increase of size of new lesions (>5 mm for SLD or any increase of non-target lesions)
Confirmation of PD Not required (unless equivocal) Required Required
Consideration of clinical status Not included in assessment Not included in assessment Clinical stability is considered in whether
treatment is continued after iUPD
