Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective response rate (irORR) using immune Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (iRECIST)	irORR is defined as the number of patients achieving a complete response (irCR) or partial response (irPR) based on the immune Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (iRECIST) at any time during the study. irCR = disappearance of all target lesions, irPR is =>30percent decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, progressive disease (irPD) is >20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, stable disease (irSD) is <30percent decrease or <20percent increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.	4 years
Secondary	Number of participants experiencing grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities	When calculating the incidence of adverse event (AE)s, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject.	4 years
