Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1): Complete Response (CR) is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR) is defined as a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. ORR = CR + PR
  • Disease Control Rate (DCR) by RECIST v1.1 [2 Years]: Disease Control Rate (DCR) defined as Sum of Stable Disease (SD) + Partial Response (PR) + Complete Response (CR) by RECIST v1.1.
