The main measures of effectiveness were the response rates (percentage of patients whose cancer responded to treatment), the time taken for the disease to progress and the increase in survival time.
Efektiivsust mõõdeti põhiliselt ravivastuse määra (patsientide protsent, kelle vähk allus ravile), haiguse progresseerumiseni kulunud aja ning elulemuse pikenemise järgi.
