    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first objectively documented disease progression (PD), per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria as determined by investigator assessment, or death regardless of cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on 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. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression). KM estimates were used for analysis.

    The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire to assess quality of life of cancer participants, it is composed of 30 questions (items) resulting in 5 functional scales, 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales, and 6 single items. Domain scores were reported for following scales: Physical Functioning, Global Health Status, Pain, and Fatigue Score. Scoring of the QLQ-C30 was performed according to QLQ-C30 Scoring manual. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher score for the functioning scales and global health status denote a better level of functioning (i.e. a better state of the participant), while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms (i.e. a worse state of the participant). For Symptom scales, a lower score means better quality of life. For Global Health Status and Functional Scales, a higher score signifies better quality of life.
