- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 84 months ]PFS was defined as the interval from randomization to the earlier of the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. PFS (months) = (minimum (date of disease progression, date of death) - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375.
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 84 months ]
ORR was the percentage of participants who achieved a complete response (CR), CR with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi,) or partial response (PR) and maintained the response for at least 12 weeks. CR was defined as no lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly; normal complete blood count; confirmed by bone marrow aspirate & biopsy.
PR was defined as >1 of the following criteria: a 50% decrease in peripheral blood lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy, liver size, spleen size; plus ≥ 1 of the following: ≥ 1500/μL absolute neutrophil count, > 100000/μL platelets, > 11.0 g/dL hemoglobin or 50% improvement for either of these parameters without transfusions or growth factors. CRi was defined as all criteria for CR met but with persistent anemia, thrombocytopenia, neutropenia or a hypocellular bone marrow.
- Lymph Node Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 84 months ]Lymph node response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a ≥ 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of the products of the greatest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of index lesions.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 84 months ]Overall survival (OS) was defined as the interval from randomization to death from any cause. Overall survival (months) = (date of death - date of randomization + 1)/30.4375.
- Complete Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 84 months ]Complete response (CR) rate was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR.
