    Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time between the date of first dose and the first date of documented progression, as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.
