Objective response in a non‐CNS (central nervous system) tumor is classified by Point‐to‐Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) criteria (Houghton et al, 2007). In the CNS tumor, the response is defined as significantly prolonged event‐free survival (EFS) where median EFS of the treatment group is at least twice longer than that of control and with significant difference in EFS between treated and control (P ≤ 0.05).
