Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed up to February 2015, approximately 20 months)

PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression, as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who died without a reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on their date of randomization. Participants treated beyond progression were considered to have progressive disease at the time of the initial progression event regardless of subsequent tumor response. Particpants who started anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment prior to the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

Overall Survival (OS)
From randomization to date of death (Assessed up to September 2016, approximately 39 months)

OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.

Rate of Overall Survival
24 months

OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive. The overall survival rate at time T (6, 12, or 24 months) was defined as the probability that a participant was alive at time T following randomization.

Rate of Progression-Free Survival
24 months

PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression, as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who died without a reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on their date of randomization. Participants treated beyond progression were considered to have progressive disease at the time of the initial progression event regardless of subsequent tumor response. Participants who started anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment prior to the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From date of randomization to the date of objectively documented progression, date of death, or the date of subsequent therapy (Up to approximately 38 months)

Objective response rate (ORR) per Independent Review Committee (IRC) is defined as the number of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the number of randomized participants using RECIST 1.1

Secondary Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
From randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed up to approximately 128 months)
Overall Survival (OS)
From randomization until death (assessed up to approximately 128 months)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment
From randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed up to approximately 128 months)
