Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment

    Time frame: Through primary analysis data cut-off date of 23JAN2020 (up to approximately 1 year and 6 months)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization until first documentation of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the IRC per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1

Secondary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) by IRC Assessment

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by the IRC using RECIST v1.1.

  2. Duration of Response (DOR) by IRC Assessment

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of documented disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever comes first, as assessed by the IRC using RECIST v1.1 in participants with documented objective responses

  3. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    OS is defined as the time from randomization until the date of death due to any cause

  4. PFS by Investigator Assessment

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization until first objectively documented disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1

  5. ORR by Investigator Assessment

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR, as assessed by the investigator using RECIST v1.1

  6. DOR by Investigator Assessment

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    DOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of documented disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever comes first, as assessed by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 in participants with documented objective responses

  7. Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Lung Cancer (EORTC QLQ-LC13)

    Time frame: Baseline to Cycle 5 (each cycle is 21 days)

    Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-CL13 scores for coughing, dyspnea, and chest pain . The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a questionnaire that measures lung cancer-specific disease and treatment symptoms. It includes questions about specific symptoms in which participants respond based on a 4-point scale, where 1 is "not at all" and 4 is "very much". Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. A lower score indicates an improvement in symptoms.

  8. Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status

    Time frame: Baseline to Cycle 5 (each cycle is 21 days)

    Change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status/Quality of Life score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 v3.0 is a questionnaire that assesses quality of life of participants with cancer. It includes global health status and quality of life questions related to overall health in which participants respond based on a 7-point scale, where 1 is very poor and 7 is excellent. Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. A higher score indicates better health outcomes.

  9. Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs), which includes laboratory tests, physical exams, electrocardiogram results and vital signs, according to National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0

  10. PFS by IRC Based on Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Expression

    Time frame: Through study completion data cut-off date of 26APR2023 (up to approximately 4 years and 9 months)

    PFS is defined as the time from randomization until first documentation of progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the IRC per RECIST v1.1, based on PD-L1 expression in tumor cells
