Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Central Review

    Time frame: Up to 108 weeks

    ORR was defined as percentage of participants with best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). For participants with metastatic disease, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 was used to determine BOR. For participants with unresectable locally advanced disease, clinical response criteria were used. RECIST v1.1 Criteria: -CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 millimeter (mm) <1 (centimeter (cm). -PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. Clinical Response Criteria: -CR: All target and nontarget lesion(s) no longer visible, maintained for at least 4 weeks and no new lesions. -PR: Decrease of at least 50% in the sum the products of perpendicular longest dimensions of target lesion(s), maintained for at least 4 weeks and no new lesions.
