Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version (RECIST) 1.1 as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)
Up to approximately 30 months

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD was defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered PD. PFS using RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR is presented.

Secondary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
Up to approximately 30 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by BICR
