Primary outcomes

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Randomization to Measured PD or Death From Any Cause (Up To 40 Months)

    PFS time was the time from randomization until the date of objectively determined progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), PD was at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the 20% relative increase, the sum must have also demonstrated an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm). The appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing nontarget lesions was also considered progression. Participants without objectively determined PD who were alive at the end of the follow-up period (or lost to follow-up) were censored on the date of the participant's last complete radiographic tumor assessment; if no baseline or post-baseline radiologic assessment was available, the participant was censored at the date of randomization.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Randomization to Measured PD (Up to 40 Months)

    Participants achieved an objective response if they had a best overall response of partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). According to RECIST v1.1, PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions (including the short axes of any target lymph node), taking as reference the baseline sum diameter; CR was the disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions, with the short axes of any target lymph node reduced to <10 mm, the disappearance of all nontarget lesions, and the normalization of tumor marker levels [if tumor markers were initially above the upper limit of normal (ULN)]. The percentage of participants who achieved an objective response=(number of participants with CR or PR)/(number of participants assessed)*100.

  2. Duration of Response

    Time frame: First Criteria Met for CR or PR to Measured PD or Death From Any Cause (Up to 40 Months)

    The duration of response was measured from the time measurement criteria were first met for a CR or PR (whichever was first recorded) until the first date of objectively documented progressive disease (taking as a reference for progressive disease the smallest measurement recorded since randomization) or the date of death, whichever occurred first. Data for participants who did not relapse or die were censored at the day of their last adequate tumor assessment. Duration of response was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.

  3. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up To 41.7 Months

    A summary of other nonserious AEs, and all SAE's, regardless of causality, is located in the Reported Adverse Events section.
