Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response [PR, Objective Response Rate (ORR)]Start of randomization/treatment to date of objective progressive disease (PD) up to 28.3 weeksORR is the percentage of participants with a confirmed CR or PR, as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.0. CR is the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is a ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions without new lesion and progression of non-target lesions. ORR is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR from start of the treatment until disease progression or recurrence divided by the total number of participants treated, then multiplied by 100.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)Randomization/treatment to date of death from any cause up to 26.9 monthsOS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization/treatment to the date of death from any cause. Participants who were alive at the time of the data inclusion cutoff, OS was censored at the last date the participant was known to be alive.
Duration of Stable Disease (SD)Time from randomization/treatment to first date of PD up to 28.3 weeksThe duration of SD is measured from the date of randomization/treatment until the date of PD. SD is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD. RECIST criteria version 1.0 was used to asses PR and PD. PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. PD is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions and/or a new lesion. Participants who had no PD or death at the time of the data inclusion cutoff, duration of SD was censored at their last tumor assessment prior to the cutoff date.
Duration of Overall ResponseTime of response to time of measured PD or death up to 161 daysThe duration of overall response (CR or PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of PD or death due to any cause. CR, PR and PD were determined using RECIST criteria version 1.0. CR is the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is a ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions without new lesion and progression of non-target lesions; PD is ≥20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions. For participants with CR or PR who had no PD or death at the time of the data inclusion cutoff, the duration of overall response was censored at their last tumor assessment prior to the cutoff date. Duration of overall response was not analyzed due to low number of participants with CR or PR.
