Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Progression free survival (PFS)
Approximately up to 24 months

PFS is the time from date of randomization/start of treatment to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. PFS is based on central assessment and using RECIST 1.1 criteria.
