The percentage of participants who died or progressed after CR or PR was reported.
Time frame: Tumor assessments at Screening, Day 1 of Cycle 3, and every two cycles (cycle length of 28 days) thereafter until disease progression; survival followed every 3 months until discontinuation from study (up to 16 months as of data cutoff 15-Dec-2014)
Population: Safety Population; only participants with a previous response (assessment of CR or PR) were included.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Tumor response was evaluated using RECIST version 1.1 criteria. Disease progression was defined as ≥20% increase on-study in sum diameter of target lesions with absolute increase ≥5 mm, or the appearance of new lesion(s). PFS was defined as the time from treatment start to the first event of disease progression or death. Median time to event was estimated using Kaplan-Meier analysis, and the 95% CI was estimated using the Brookmeyer-Crowley method.
Time frame: Tumor assessments at Screening, Day 1 of Cycle 3, and every two cycles (cycle length of 28 days) thereafter until disease progression; survival followed every 3 months until discontinuation from study (up to 16 months as of data cutoff 15-Dec-2014)
Population: Safety Population.
