Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
efficacy - Progression-free Survival (PFS) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1): PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Responses are according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR). - Overall Survival (OS): OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
efficacy safety - PFS, Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease Control Rate (DCR), Duration of Response (DOR), Time to Progression (TTP) per Modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) - Percentage of Participants Who Experience At Least One Adverse Event (AE), Serious Adverse Event (SAE), Hepatic Event of Clinical Interest (ECI) - Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE
