Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)

OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants without documented death at the time of final analysis were censored at the date of the last follow up. The final analysis for OS was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. OS analysis is reported here for all randomized participants.

Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events (AEs) Characterized as Grade 3 or Grade 4 According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product is also an AE. Reporting of AEs per NCI CTCAE is based on 5 grades of severity; Grade 1 (mild; no treatment needed), Grade 2 (moderate; minimal treatment needed), Grade 3 (severe, not life threatening; hospitalization needed), Grade 4 (life threatening; urgent treatment needed) and Grade 5 (death).The final analysis for Grade 3 or 4 AEs was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who experienced Grade 3/4 AEs per NCI CTCAE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.

Number of Participants Who Experienced an AE
Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product.

The final analysis for participants who experienced an AE was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who experienced an AE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE
Up to ~72 months (through pre-specified final statistical analysis cut-off date of 15-July-2011)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening of a pre-existing condition which is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product is also an AE. The final analysis for participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE was planned and performed at the time of the protocol pre-specified final statistical analysis with a data cut-off of 15-July-2011. Per protocol number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is reported here for all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment. As specified by the protocol, participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE remained on study until investigator notification to discontinue.
