Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
From randomization until the primary analysis data cut-off date of 05 April 2019; the median duration of follow-up was 35.5 months

Time to PFS is defined as the number of days from the date the participant was randomized to the date the participant experiences radiographic disease progression (as determined by the investigators), or to the date of death (all causes of mortality) if disease progression is not reached. All events of disease progression occurring on or before the Primary Analysis Cutoff date of 05 April 2019 were to be included, regardless of whether the event occurred while the participant was still taking study drug or had previously discontinued study drug. PFS was estimated for each treatment group using Kaplan-Meier methodology.

Secondary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
Up to 84.5 and 81.8 months for Placebo and Veliparib, respectively.
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
Through the end of Week 24
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Approximately 8 years from randomization
