- Determine Radiographic Response Rate of Patients Enrolled in the Phase 2a Portion of the Study [ Time Frame: Scans Every 8 weeks until radiographic progression was confirmed by the site. ]Percentage of participants who showed overall response during their participation in the study. Per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (mRECIST) and assessed by tri-phasic contrast enhanced CT: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of intratumoral enhancing area; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of enhancing area; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
