The effective rates of the study group were 74.8% (PPS) and 74.1% (FAS). There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the two groups. There were no serious adverse events and major adverse events during the study. The incidence of adverse events in study group was 14.5%. There was no significant difference (P > 0.05) between the two groups. According to the preset non-inferior creteria, ie 15%, the non-inferiority of the test drug was established.CONCLUSION:
