Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)Up to 28 monthsPFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of documented disease progression (PD), as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm). Median PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier (KM) methodology. Data for participants without PD or death from any cause as of the data cut-off date were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment.
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 28 monthsOS was defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the time of death from any cause. Participants who are alive as of the data cut-off date of the analysis were censored at the last known date they were alive. Participants with no post-baseline information were censored at the date of randomization plus 1 day. Median OS was calculated using the KM methodology.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)Up to 28 monthsORR was defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive assessments, at least 28 days apart, as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. Only participants with measurable disease at baseline were analyzed for this outcome measure. Participants without a post-baseline tumor assessment were considered non-responders. An estimate of the ORR and its 95% CI (Wilson score confidence interval) were calculated for each treatment arm.
Duration of Response (DOR)Up to 28 monthsDOR was calculated for participants who had a best OR of CR/PR. DOR was defined as time from first occurrence of a documented OR until the time of documented PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first as determined by investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1. CR=the disappearance of all target lesions or any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR=at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD=at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Median DOR was calculated using the KM methodology.
PFS in Participants With Baseline Brain Metastases as Determined by Investigator Assessment Using RECIST v1.1Up to 28 monthsPFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Median PFS was calculated using the KM methodology.
OS in Participants With Baseline Brain MetastasesUp to 28 monthsOS is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment to the time of death from any cause. Median OS was calculated using the KM methodology.
Central Nervous System (CNS) PFS as Determined by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in Participants With Baseline CNS MetastasesUp to 28 monthsCNS PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of documented CNS PD, or first occurrence of symptomatic CNS disease as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Median PFS was calculated using the KM methodology. Participants who experienced non-CNS PD at the time of analysis were censored at the date of this progression. Participants who experienced no PD and were alive at the time of analysis were censored at date of their last post-baseline tumor assessment or, if they had no post-baseline tumor assessment, on the date of randomization + 1 day.
CNS PFS as Determined by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in Participants Without Baseline CNS MetastasesUp to 28 monthsCNS PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of documented CNS PD, or first occurrence of symptomatic CNS disease as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Median PFS was calculated using the KM methodology. Participants who experienced non-CNS PD at the time of analysis were censored at the date of this progression. Participants who experienced no PD and were alive at the time of analysis were censored at date of their last post-baseline tumor assessment or, if they had no post-baseline tumor assessment, on the date of randomization + 1 day.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 28 monthsAn AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values or abnormal clinical test results), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From-Baseline in PF, RF and GHS/QoL Scores Measured Using EORTC QLQ-C30Up to 28 monthsEORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of participant functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), GHS/QoL, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The PF scale has 5 questions about participant's PF and daily activities (strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest & needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves, or using the toilet). The RF scale has 2 questions about work/daily activities and hobbies/leisurely activities. The PF and RF are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The GHS/QoL are scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). The obtained scores are linearly transformed to a score range of 0-100, where higher scores indicate a higher response level and better QoL, functioning/support.

Change From-Baseline in PF, RF and GHS/QoL Scores Measured Using EORTC QLQ-C30

EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of participant functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), GHS/QoL, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The PF scale has 5 questions about participant's PF and daily activities (strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest & needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves, or using the toilet). The RF scale has 2 questions about work/daily activities and hobbies/leisurely activities. The PF and RF are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The GHS/QoL are scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). The obtained scores are linearly transformed to a score range of 0-100, where higher scores indicate a higher response level and better QoL, functioning/support.

The PF scale has 5 questions about participant's PF and daily activities (strenuous activities, long walks, short walks, bed/chair rest & needing help with eating, dressing, washing themselves, or using the toilet). The RF scale has 2 questions about work/daily activities and hobbies/leisurely activities. The PF and RF are scored on a 4-point scale (1=Not at All to 4=Very Much). The GHS/QoL are scored on a 7-point scale (1=Very Poor to 7=Excellent). The obtained scores are linearly transformed to a score range of 0-100, where higher scores indicate a higher response level and better QoL, functioning/support.

Time frame: Up to 28 months

Population: As prespecified in the latest protocol, following sponsor's decision to prematurely terminate the study, the analysis for EORTC QLQ-C30 was not conducted.

PFS as Determined by a Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) Committee Using RECIST v1.1

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the BICR committee according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Time frame: Up to 28 months

Population: As prespecified in the latest protocol, following sponsor's decision to prematurely terminate the study, analysis of PFS as determined by a BICR committee was not conducted.
