AUC (0-inf) is defined as the area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) extrapolated to infinite time. AUC (0-t) is defined as area under the concentration-time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to the last time of quantifiable concentration. Date are reported as geometric least square means.

An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury.

Clinical Chemistry parameters were summarized according to National Cancer Institutes (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade, version 4.0. Grade 1, Mild; Grade 2, Moderate; Grade 3 (G3), Severe; Grade 4 (G4), Life-threatening or disabling; Grade 5, Death. Data are presented for only those parameters for which an increase to Grade 3 or Grade 4 occurred. Participants with missing Baseline Grade were assumed to have Baseline Grade of 0. All increases were an increase in grade from Baseline. Only descriptive analysis.

For Clinical Chemistry parameters that were not graded according to NCI CTCAE criteria, changes above (High) and below (Low) the normal range were evaluated. Participants with missing Baseline were assumed to be within normal range. Participants were counted twice if the subject "Decreased to Low" and Increase to High" during the post-baseline period. Only descriptive analysis.

Best overall response is defined as complete response (CR: the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes must be \<10 millimeters \[mm\] in the short axis.) or partial reponse (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters \[e.g., percent change from Baseline\]). Participants with unknown or missing responses were considered as non-responders. To be assigned a status of PR or CR, a confirmatory disease assessment should have been performed no less than 28 days after the criteria for response were first met. Response was evaluated by an investigator as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.1.

PFS is defined as the interval between the date of randomization and the earliest date of PD or death due to any cause. PD was based on radiographic or photographic evidence, and assessments were made by the investigator according to RECIST, version 1.1. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the smallest sum of diameters recorded since the treatment started (e.g., percent change from nadir, where nadir is defined as the smallest sum of diameters recorded since treatment start). In addition, the sum must have an absolute increase from nadir of 5 mm. Participants who received anti-cancer therapy prior to the date of documented events, were censored at the last adequate assessment prior to the initiation of therapy. If the participant did not had a documented date of events, PFS and survival were censored at the date of the last adequate assessment.
