Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS defined as the time from the first day of therapy to the first evidence of disease progression as defined by RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause. Progressive Disease (PD) was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, with reference being the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm, or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions, or 1 or more new lesions. If a participant does not have a complete baseline disease assessment, then the PFS time was censored at the date of randomization, regardless of whether or not objectively determined disease progression or death has been observed for the participant. If a participant was not known to have died or have objective progression as of the data inclusion cutoff date for the analysis, the PFS time was censored at the last adequate tumor assessment date.

    Randomization to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 32 Months)

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    Randomization to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Estimated Up to 82 Months)

  • Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (Objective Response Rate [ORR])

    Randomization to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 32 Months)

  • Duration of Response (DoR)

    CR or PR to Disease Progression or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 32 Months)

  • Percentage of Participants With CR, PR or Stable Disease (SD) (Disease Control Rate [DCR])

    Randomization to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 32 Months)

  • Percentage of Participants With Tumor Response of SD for at Least 6 Months, PR, or CR (Clinical Benefit Rate [CBR])

    Randomization to Progressive Disease or Death Due to Any Cause (Up to 32 Months)

  • +7 more secondary outcomes
