Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Cohort 1: Real World Overall Survival (rwOS)
Real-world overall survival (rwOS) is defined as the length of time from the date the patient initiates treatment to the date of death or end of follow up, whichever occurred earliest.
Cohort 2 Arm A: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression free survival is defined as the length of time from date of patient starts treatment to date of progression event or death.
Cohort 2 Arm B: Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression free survival is defined as the length of time from date of patient starts treatment to date of progression event or death.
Secondary outcomes
Cohort 1: Baseline ctDNA
Baseline ctDNA will be summarized by mean, median, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.
Cohort 2: Arm A and Arm B Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Objective response rate will be determined by summing the rates of complete response and partial response.
Cohort 2: Arm A and Arm B Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival is defined as the length of time from the date the patient initiates treatment to the date of death or end of follow up, whichever occurred earliest.
