Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Event-free Survival (EFS)- Number of Participants With an Event
From randomization up until the data cut-off date of June 2, 2022 (approximately 76 months)

EFS is defined as the time from randomization until progression after surgery, or at surgery, if failure to resect gross disease, or at time of death from any cause after randomization.

EFS- Time to Event
From randomization up until the data cut-off date of June 2, 2022 (approximately 76 months)

EFS is defined as the time from randomization until progression after surgery, or at surgery, if failure to resect gross disease, or at time of death from any cause after randomization. Assessment of progression/disease recurrence occurred by physical exam and annual imaging for the duration of the follow up portion of the study. Median EFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Enrollment through 30 days post-surgery

The frequency of all Adverse Events (greater than 5%) is reported. All Serious Adverse Events were described.

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Survival (OS)- Number of Participants With an Event
From randomization up until the data cut-off date of June 2, 2022 (approximately 76 months)
OS- Time to Event
From randomization up until the data cut-off date of June 2, 2022 (approximately 76 months)
Clinical and Histological Tumor Responses
