What was measured

ORR is defined as the percentage of patients achieving a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Analysis population: All patients who have received at least 1 dose of study medication with at least one adequate on-study tumor assessment were included in the efficacy analysis. If a patient discontinued the study before the first radiological assessment due to progression of disease, either radiological or clinical, they were considered evaluable and were included in the efficacy analysis. One patient enrolled in the ACC cohort was excluded from the study due to change in the diagnosis.
