Primary outcomes

  1. Arm A Vs Arm C - Progression-Free Survival (PFS) by RECIST 1.1 Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    Time frame: From randomization untill disease progression or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 53 months)

    Progression-Free Survival then (PFS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression, based on BICR assessments (per RECIST v1.1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first based on Kaplan-Meier estimates. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: From randomization untill death (up to approximately 61 months)

    Overall Survival (OS) for all randomized participants is the time between randomization and the date of death from any cause based on Kaplan-Meier estimates. For participants who are alive, their survival time was censored at the last date that they were known to be alive. OS was censored for participants at the date of randomization if they had no follow-up.

  2. Arm B Vs Arm C and Arm A Vs Arm B- Progression-Free Survival (Irrespective of Subsequent Therapy) by RECIST 1.1 Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression, based on BICR assessments (per RECIST v1.1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first based on Kaplan-Meier estimates. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR) by BICR

    Time frame: From randomization until metastases or death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 61 months)

    Time to Death or Distant Metastases (TDDM) is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the first date of distant metastasis or death in the absence of distant metastasis based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Time frame: From first dose (Day 1) till 30 days after the last dose (up to approximately 19 months)

    An Adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporarily associated with the use of medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the investigational medicinal product. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe), requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

  12. Change From Baseline in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)-Symptom Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) Total Score at Week 48

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 48

    The NSCLC-SAQ is a questionnaire used in clinical trials to understand how non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) affects your daily life and well-being. It has 7 questions that ask about your symptoms over the past 7 days, including cough, pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and appetite loss. The total scores from the questionnaire range from 0 to 20. A higher score means you have more severe symptoms and are feeling worse, which is a bad outcome. A lower score means you have fewer symptoms and are feeling better, which is a good outcome.
