Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Adverse Events
From first dose to 100 days post last dose, or primary cutoff date, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 43 months)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events
From first dose to 100 days post last dose, or primary cutoff date, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 43 months)

Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, and requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation
From first dose to 100 days post last dose, or primary cutoff date, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 43 months)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of Participants Who Died
From first dose to primary cutoff date (Up to approximately 43 months)

Number of participants who died due to any cause.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
From randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression, or death, or primary cutoff date, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 50 months)

PFS based on RECIST v1.1 is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression by BICR or death from any cause. Estimates are based on Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Progressive disease=At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions.

Up to 2 years
Number of participants with serious adverse events (SAEs )
Up to 2 years
Number of Discontinuations due to AEs
Up to 2 years
Number of Deaths due to AEs
Up to 2 years
Number of participants with laboratory toxicity grade shift from baseline

Progression Free Survival
From date of first dose or randomization until date of confirmed disease progression, up to 2 years
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
From first dose to 100 days post last dose (Up to 64 months)

Number of participants with any grade serious adverse events (SAEs). A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: * results in death * is life-threatening * requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization * results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity * is a congenital anomaly/birth defect * is an important medical event Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation
From first dose to 100 days post last dose (Up to 64 months)

Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation. An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study drug and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Toxicities will be graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03.

Number of Participants With Abnormal Hepatic Test
From first dose to 100 days post last dose (Up to 64 months)

Number of participants with laboratory abnormalities in specific hepatic tests. The number of participants with the following laboratory abnormalities from on-treatment evaluations will be summarized: * ALT or AST \> 5xULN, \> 3xULN, and \> 2xULN * Any of ALT, AST, Total Bilirubin or ALP \> 8xULN * Total bilirubin \> 3xULN ALT = Alanine Aminotransferase; AST = Aspartate Aminotransferase; ULN = Upper Limit of Normal

Secondary Endpoints

Progression Free Survival Rate (PFSR) at 6 and 12 Months
6 and 12 months
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator
From randomization to the date of the first documented tumor progression, or death, whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 56 months)
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
