Pre-existing conditions that worsened and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as AEs. Serious AE: resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant. Grade-1:discomfort but no disruption of normal daily activity. Grade-2:discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect daily activity,no intervention indicated.Grade-3:inability to perform normal daily activity,intervention indicated.Grade-4:immediate threat to life or leading to permanent mental or physical condition that prevented performing normal daily activities.Grade 5: death.

CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. Best overall response was calculated separately for brain, other sites (extracranial) and whole body. Percentage of participants with 95 percent (%) Clopper-Pearson confidence interval (CI) are reported.

Duration of Stable Disease (SD) by Disease SiteBaseline, Week 4, Week 8 and thereafter every 8th week until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, consent withdrawal, death or other reasons deemed by the investigator (up to 16 months)Duration of SD was defined as the time between the first documented date of SD and date of PD or death from any cause. SD was defined (according to RECIST version 1.1) as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the baseline sum diameters), no progression in non-target lesions, and no new lesions. PD was defined as at least 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions compared to smallest sum of diameters on-study and absolute increase of at least 5 mm, progression of existing non-target lesions, or presence of new lesions.
