Abbreviations: CBR, clinical benefit rate; CI, confidence interval; CR, complete response; ORR, objective response rate; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.

aTwo patients had a response preceded by initial progressive disease.

bTotal of 5 patients for all 3 response categories (intracranial, extracranial, and global): 1 patient withdrew consent (all 3 categories), 2 patients stopped study (all 3 categories), 1 patient for EC lesion procedure not done (just global), 1 patient for gamma knife therapy (global).

cClinical benefit rate = complete response + partial response + stable disease ≥ 6 months.

dOne additional patient had a response, but was not included as no response date was recorded by the investigator.
