What was measured

DOR is defined as the time from the first documented objective response (either complete or partial response) until the date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm (Note: The appearance of 1or more new lesions is also considered progression).

Analysis population: All treated participants for Cohort 1, 2, and 5, and all randomized participants for Cohort 3, 4 and 6 whose best overall response (BOR) is either complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Uninfected HCC, HCV-infected, and HBV-infected participants were pre-specified to be reported together for Cohort 1.

DOR is defined as the time from the first documented objective response (either complete or partial response) until the date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm (Note: The appearance of 1or more new lesions is also considered progression).
