Response Rate Primary · 9 months

The Response Rate is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1). CR = disappearance of all target lesions, PR is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (SD) is \<30% decrease or \<20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Secondary · 9 months

Progression-free survival is defined as the duration of time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first. PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of first dose of study drug to disease progression (progressive disease \[PD\] or relapse from complete response \[CR\] as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in sum of diameters of target

Overall Survival With Gemcitabine and Docetaxel Combination Therapy Secondary · 62 months

Overall survival is the time from the start of first dose of study drug to death. OS will be measured from date of first dose of a study drug until death or end of follow-up (OS will be censored on the date the subject was last known to be alive for subjects without documentation of death at the time of analysis). Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.
