Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on Local Investigator Assessment - Full Analysis Set (FAS) in Full Population, Main Study Cohort and PI3K Unknown Cohort
Date of randomization to the date of first documented tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, reported between day of first patient randomized up to approximately 4 years

Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of first radiologically documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient did not progress or die at the time of the analysis data cut-off or start of new antineoplastic therapy, PFS was censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment before the earliest of the cut-off date or the start date of additional anti-neoplastic therapy. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria RECIST v1.1, as 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline and/or unequivocal progression of the non-target lesions and/or appearance of a new lesion. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Progression free survival (PFS)-rate in the full population, after 6 months
6 months

PFS is defined as time from date of start of treatment to the date of the event, defined as the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause per local investigator assessment

Rate of Clinical Benefit
Disease was evaluated radiologically at baseline and every 2 cycles on treatment then every 3 months up to 2 years. Participants in this study cohort were followed for response on average approximately 2 months.

Clinical benefit rate (CBR) was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for 4 months or longer based on RECIST 1.1 criteria on treatment. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is the complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PD is at least a 20% increase in sum LD of target lesions (smallest sum LD reference), new lesions, and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Stable disease (SD) is defined as any condition not meeting the above criteria.

Progression-free Survival (PFS)Assessed by Local Investigator's Assessment (Phase ll)
Every 8 weeks from randomization until disease progression up to 10 months after futility was analyzed

PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the event, defined as the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
