Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Overall Survival (OS)
From date of randomization to the death due to any cause or cut-off date, whichever comes first (maximum duration: up to 20 months)

Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method.

Survival Probability at 6 Months
From date of randomization until 6 months post treatment

Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 6 months was reported.

Survival Probability at 12 Months
From date of randomization until 12 months post treatment

Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 12 months was reported.

Survival Probability at 18 Months
From date of randomization until 18 months post treatment

Overall survival defined as the observed time elapsed between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. The primary estimand of interest was defined to assess the effect of the randomized treatments on the survival duration in all participants regardless of whether or not intercurrent events had occurred (treatment policy strategy). Analysis was performed using Kaplan- Meier method. In this outcome measure, data of survival probability at 18 months was reported.
