Percentage of participants with objective response as assessed by IRC was defined as the percentage of responders in the response evaluable population, where responders were defined as participants determined to have a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on the RECIST v1.1 criteria. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions (TLs) and normalization of tumor markers. Pathological lymph nodes must have short axis measures less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of measures (longest diameter for tumor lesions and short axis measure for nodes) of TLs, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. CR and PR were to be confirmed by repeat assessments \>=4 weeks after initial documentation. Clopper-Pearson method was used to calculate 95% confidence interval (CI).

The median time to the event was estimated using the methodology of Kaplan-Meier. Brookmeyer-Crowley method was used to calculate 95% CI.

EORTC QLQ-LC13 consisted of 13 questions for dyspnea (3 items) and 10 single items (cough, hemoptysis, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, pain in chest, pain in arm/shoulder, other pain). Questions used 4-point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'). Scores were averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score=better level of functioning, lower score indicates lower level of functioning.
