As with clinical trials evaluating anti-angiogenic agents, criteria for determining tumor response and progression must be adapted to account for transient immune-mediated inflammatory responses that might be mistaken for development of tumor progression.
With studies of non-CT agents, conventional criteria for achieving a maximum tolerated dose are not always achieved.
To analyse heterogeneity and effect size for each intervention, trials were then subgrouped according to baseline pain, methodological quality, adequate dosageand procedural recommendations for each physical agent using the criteria listed previously (see criteria for optimal dose).
Mr. Webb says greater efficiencies can be found because the company's software measures the results from each agent according to criteria determined by the client.
Second, a welfarist theory distinguishes between the well-being of each agent and the criteria that determine the structure of the social welfare function.[23] The theory, that is, distinguishes what makes an individual's life go better and the concerns that determine how one integrates the well-being of individuals into "social welfare".
For ongoing therapy, patients must demonstrate stability of both six-minute walk distance (6MWD) and echocardiographic parameters, although they are able to swap to an alternate agent if these criteria are not met.
58, 87, 88 Latent responses to ipilimumab have been described, and it has been proposed that early evaluation of patients treated with this agent using RECIST criteria may not predict long-term clinical benefit from the drug.
We identify a universal type space of possible interdependent (expected utility) preferences of a group of agents satisfying two criteria.
Games with multiple agents and multiple criteria are possible but not explored here.
V. vulnificus isolates were susceptible to all antimicrobial agents tested by criteria for Enterobacteriaceae.
In series without application of contrast agent, the first criterion was deemed sufficient.
