Abbreviations: CAR, clinician-assessed response; CR, complete response; NA, not applicable; NE, not evaluable; PD, progressive disease; PR, partial response; SD, stable disease.
In the analysis based on dichotomous disease control outcome (ever achieved SD or better vs not achieving at least SD), agreement was 82% (95% CI, 73.1%-89.0%) and κ statistics, 0.48 (95% CI, 0.25-0.70).
Analyses based on confirmed response, except when noted (N = 100).
