Duration of response (DoR) was 31.6 months for pretreated and 20.3 months for treatment-naïve patients (median follow-up approximately 38 months). Median progression-free survival (PFS) was 26.2 months for pretreated and 22.0 months for treatment-naïve patients (median follow-up approximately 40 months). Median overall survival was 47.6 months in pretreated patients and was not reached in the treatment-naïve group (median follow-up approximately 43 months). At the 3-year landmark estimate, 57% of pretreated and 66% of treatment-naïve patients were alive. Among 26 patients with measurable CNS metastases at baseline, the CNS-ORR was 85% with a CNS-DoR of 9.4 months and CNS-PFS of 11.0 months.
