Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment During the Induction Period Due to Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs).From date of the first dose of IP until 28 days after the last dose of IP during induction and SAEs made known to the investigator any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP; maximum treatment duration during induction was 3.9 monthsTreatment-emergent adverse events were defined as any adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) that occurred or worsened on or after the day of the first dose of the investigational product through 28 days after the last dose of IP. In addition, any SAE with an onset date more than 28 day after the last dose of IP that was assessed by the investigator as related to IP was considered a TEAE. A participant met the primary endpoint if: an AE was the reason for discontinuation as recorded in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) and the participant had no doses administered beyond Cycle 4. 95% confidence interval for the percentage was calculated using the Clopper Pearson method.

Population: The Treated population consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of Investigational Product.

Percentage of Participants With Dose Reductions During the Entire Study

A dose reduction occurs when the dose assigned at a visit was lower than the dose assigned at the previous visit. Dose reductions are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and/or treatment emergent adverse events or toxicities.

Time frame: From day 1 of IP until 28 days after the last dose of IP; maximum treatment duration was 14.1 months during the entire study

Population: The treated population consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of Investigational Product.

Time to Response

Time to response was defined as the time from Day 1 of study treatment to the first occurrence of response (CR or PR) according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines. RECIST V1.1 criteria includes: - A Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions; - A Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline

Time frame: From Day 1 of study drug treatment to the date of first occurrence of CR or PR; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months

Population: Treated Population; participants with a CR or PR

Percentage of Protocol Dose

The percentage of protocol specified dose administered during the induction and monotherapy periods. Percentage of protocol dose = (dose intensity / protocol weekly dose) \* 100%; the protocol weekly dose of nab-paclitaxel is 66.67 mg/m2/week; the protocol weekly dose of carboplatin was 1.67 mg\*min/mL/week.

Time frame: From Day 1 of study drug treatment to end of study drug treatment; up to clinical data cut-off date of 24 February 2017; ; maximum treatment duration was 14.1 months.

Population: The Treated Population consisted of all participants who received at least 1 dose of investigational product.
