Change From Baseline in EuroQol 5-Dimension, 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) Index-based and Visual Analog Scale Scores
The EQ-5D-5L is a validated self-report health status questionnaire that was used to calculate a health status utility score for use in health economic analyses. There were two components to the EQ-5D-5L: a five-item health state profile that assessed mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, as well as a visual analog scale (VAS) that measured health state. The EQ VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 A single composite score was calculated based on the responses as an indicator of the participant's health status. The scale ranges 0-100, 0=worst health and 100=best health.

Investigator-Assessed PFS Rates at 6 Months and 12 Months in the FAS
PFS rate at 6 months and 12 months was defined as the percentage of participants who were event free at these specific time points. Percentages have been rounded off to the nearest decimal point. A point estimate of the event-free rate is a single, numerical value used to approximate the true event-free rate of the entire population at a specific point in time. This value is calculated from ordered data (Event, Censoring) of each patient, using the Kaplan-Meier method, and accounts for censored observations( so Event free rates may not directly be calculated based only on patients remaining at risk).
Time frame: Month 6, Month 12
Population: FAS: All randomized participants, whether or not the participant received the assigned treatment. Overall number of participants analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses. Number analyzed is the number of participants with data available for analyses at the specified timepoints.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Time frame: Up to 65 months
PFS in the FAS
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD as determined by the investigator with the use of RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest SOD on study (including baseline). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the SOD must also demonstrate an absolute increase of \>/= 5 mm.
Time frame: From randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 24 months)
Population: FAS: All randomized participants, whether or not the participant received the assigned treatment.

Time to Confirmed Deterioration (TTCD) of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core (QLQ-C30) Physical Functioning in the PAS
TTCD was the time from randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in physical functioning. TTCD was determined based on patient-reported physical functioning (items 1-5) as collected and measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30. The PF is measured on 4-point scale (1='Not at all' to 4='Very much'). A high score for the physical function subscale represented a high/healthy level of functioning. The scale was linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A score change of at least 10-point in physical functioning subscale score was perceived by participants as clinically meaningful. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration was defined as a clinically meaningful decrease from baseline that was held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial clinically meaningful decrease from baseline followed by death from any cause within 3 weeks.
Time frame: From randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration up to approximately 24 months
Population: PAS: All randomized participants without presence or history of brain metastases at baseline.

TTCD of EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL in the FAS
TTCD was the time from randomization until the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in patient-reported global health status (GHS)/ quality of life (QoL). TTCD was determined based on patient-reported GHS/QoL (items 29-30) as collected and measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30. HS/ QoL items are scored on a 7-point scale that ranges from very poor to excellent. A high score for the GHS/QoL subscale represented a high health related quality of life. The scale was linearly transformed so that each score ranged from 0 to 100. A score change of at least 10-point in GHS/QoL subscale score was perceived by participants as clinically meaningful. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration was defined as a clinically meaningful decrease from baseline that was held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial clinically meaningful decrease from baseline followed by death from any cause within 3 weeks.
