  1. (A). Objective response rate and disease control rate in 145 patients. (B). Objective response rate and disease control rate in 118 patients with target lesions. (C). Duration of stable disease.
  2. CR complete response, PR partial response, SD stable disease, PD progressive disease.
  3. aFisher extract test was used for categorical items and Student’s t test was used for continuous variables, respectively.
  4. bDisease control rate: the sum of the proportion of CR and PR and SD and non-CR/non-PD in (A).
  5. cResponse rate: the proportion of complete response and partial response in (A) and (B).
  6. dDisease control rate: the sum of the proportion of CR and PR and SD in (B).
  7. eDuration of stable disease: the duration from the date when trastuzumab-combined therapy was first administered to the date when PD was determined.
