Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Median Overall Survival
OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For subjects without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the subject was known to be alive
From randomization to the date of death or date participant was last known to be alive (assessed from December 2015 to Oct 2017 approximately 22 months)
Overall Survival Rate
OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For subjects without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the subject was known to be alive. Rates provided are Kaplan-Meier estimates.
From first dose to the date of death or date participant was last known to be alive (assessed from December 2015 to Oct 2017 approximately 22 months)
Secondary Outcomes (8)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From date of first dose up to partial or complete response (up to approximately 90 months)
Overall Survival (OS) in Subpopulations
From randomization to the date of death or date participant was last known to be alive (up to approximately 90 months)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From the time of randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause (up to approximately 90 months)
Progression Free Survival Rate
From the time of randomization up to 6 months
Time to Treatment Failure (TTF)
From randomization up to disease progression, death, or last dose (up to approximately 17 months)
