Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
up to 33.9 months

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented disease progression (PD), according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) by blinded independent central review committee (BICR), or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.

Overall Survival
up to 39.1 months

Overall survival was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
From baseline until disease progression or treatment discontinuation, up to 10.3 months

The primary efficacy endpoint for the study is the ORR. The ORR is defined as the number of patients with CR and PR divided by the number of patients in the analysis set. Tumor response will be defined as best response based on local investigator's assessment according to RECIST criteria v.1.1.

1-year Disease-free survival (DFS) by response subgroup
1 year

DFS is defined the occurrence of progression of local disease, distant metastases, second primary or death. 1-year DFS, will be analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and be compared using a 0.05-level one-sided two-proportion test. DFS will be compared among the three subgroups: favorable response subgroup, intermediate response subgroup, unfavorable response subgroup.

Objective response rate
Up to 5 years following completion of study treatment

Defined as the proportion of participants having a best objective response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as determined by investigator assessment per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1.

Objective radiographic response (ORR)
26 months

Objective radiographic response (ORR), as measured by modified Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. ). The response is classified as Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Stable Disease (SD), and Progressive Disease (PD).

Progeression-free Survival (PFS)
up to 738 days

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documented progression, as determined by investigator assessment per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.

Group A - Objective Response Rate
up to 2.5 years

Defined as the proportion of participants having a CR or PR according to RECIST v1.1, as assessed by Independent Central Review committee

up to 25.9 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1), as determined by the investigator, at any post-Baseline visit until new anti-cancer therapy or first Progressive Disease. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm).
