Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Survival (OS)
From randomization to death (up to approximately 38.7 months)

OS was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to estimate median OS. 80% confidence interval (CI) for median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley. IxRS=Interactive response system.

Part A: Number of Participants With a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)
From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 7 (Cycle length= 14 days)

A DLT was defined as a clinically significant adverse event (AE) or significant laboratory abnormality: 1) occurring during DLT assessment period of 21 days; 2) considered to be related to study treatment RO7121661 by the Investigator; 3) is not attributed to disease progression or another clearly identifiable cause. Following AEs were considered DLTs: Hematological toxicities (Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>5 days, Grade ≥3 febrile neutropenia, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting \> 48 hours, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia associated with bleeding episodes, Grade 4 anemia, Grade ≥3 anemia with hemolysis); Non-hematological toxicity Grade ≥3 (Any Grade 3 immune-mediated AE, Grade 3 hyperbilirubinemia lasting for \>48 hours/Grade 4 hyperbilirubinemia; Grade ≥3 aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) elevations with hyperbilirubinemia of Grade ≥2, Grade 4 AST or ALT elevations, Grade ≥3 nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea, Grade ≥3 non-hematological laboratory abnormality.

Part A: Number of Participants With at Least One AE by Highest Severity, Graded According to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0)
From signing of informed consent form up to 60 days after last treatment administration (up to 41.7 months)

AE=any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product \& which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with treatment \& can therefore be any unfavorable \& unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory values/abnormal clinical test results), symptoms/disease temporally associated with the use of pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to pharmaceutical product. Severity of AEs was graded as: Grade 1=Mild, asymptomatic/mild symptoms, clinical/diagnostic observations only, or intervention not indicated; Grade 2=Moderate, minimal, local/non-invasive intervention indicated, or limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living; Grade 3=Severe/medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, hospitalization/prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living; Grade 4= Life-threatening consequences, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5=Death related to AE.

Part B: Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Determined by Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1)
Cycle 1 Day 1 then every 8 weeks for the first year; every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression or treatment discontinuation (whichever occurs last), initiation of a new line of therapy or death (Up to 43.3 months) (Cycle length= 14 days)

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective tumor response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to \<10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD.

Part B: Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Determined by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1
Cycle 1 Day 1 then every 8 weeks for the first year; every 12 weeks thereafter until disease progression or treatment discontinuation (whichever occurs last), initiation of a new line of therapy or death (Up to 43.3 months) (Cycle length= 14 days)

DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with an objective tumor response of CR, PR or stable disease (SD) as determined by the investigator using RECIST v.1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) have a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for disease progression (PD). PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Part B: Duration of Response (DOR) as Determined by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1
From first occurrence of documented OR up to disease progression or death (Up to 43.3 months) (Cycle length = 14 days)

DOR was calculated for participants who had a best confirmed overall response (OR) of CR/PR. DOR was defined as time from first occurrence of a documented OR until the time of documented PD or death (within 30 days from last treatment) from any cause, whichever occurs first as determined by investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions or any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) having a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SOD. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SOD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on the study including baseline (nadir). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Data for participants without PD or death as of the data cut-off date were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment.

Part B: Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by Investigator Using RECIST v1.1
From treatment initiation (Cycle 1 Day 1) until disease progression or death (Up to 43.3 months) (Cycle length= 14 days)

PFS was defined as the time from study treatment initiation (Cycle 1 Day 1) to the first occurrence of documented PD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum in the study, including baseline, in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Data for participants without PD or death as of the data cut-off date were censored at the time of the last tumor assessment.
