Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS) for the Full Analysis Population (FAP)Baseline to date of death (every 3 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment and every 2 months for a minimum of 13 months post study treatment)

OS was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. For a subject not expiring, the OS time was censored on the last date of contact that they were known to be alive. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze variables of duration and event associated with possible censoring and estimate the medians survival by treatment groups. The confidence intervals for the medians were calculated using the Brookmeyer and Crowley's method.

Overall Survival for the Per Protocol (PP) PopulationBaseline to date of death (every 3 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment and every 2 months for a minimum of 13 months post study treatment)

OS was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. For a subject not expiring, the OS time was censored on the last date of contact that they were known to be alive. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze variables of duration and event associated with possible censoring and estimate the medians survival by treatment groups. The confidence intervals for the medians were calculated using the Brookmeyer and Crowley's method.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Subjects With Overall Confirmed ResponseBaseline to first documentation of confirmed response (every 9 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment and every 2 months in follow up until progression)

Objective disease response = subjects with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. A PR was defined as a ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest dimensions of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions.

Duration of Response (DR)Baseline to first documentation of confirmed response (every 9 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment and every 2 months in follow up until progression)

DR was defined as the time from start of the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze variables of duration and event associated with possible censoring and estimate the medians survival by treatment groups. The confidence intervals for the medians were calculated using the Brookmeyer and Crowley's method.

Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)Baseline to date of progression (every 9 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment and every 2 months for a minimum of 13 months post study treatment until progression)

TTP was defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of tumor progression. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze variables of duration and event associated with possible censoring and estimate the medians survival by treatment groups. The confidence intervals for the medians were calculated using the Brookmeyer and Crowley's method.

European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30)Baseline, at every cycle (Day -1, Day 1 of cycle before treatment), at the end of the treatment, and every 2 months during follow-up

The EORTC QLQ-C30 scales include 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), a global health status/QL scale and 9 symptom scales: nausea and vomiting, pain, fatigue, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties. All scales and single-item measures range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a high/healthy level of functioning, for the global health status/QL represents a high QL (better patient state), and for a symptom scale/item represents a high level of symptomatology/problems (worse patient state).

Tumor Related Symptoms (Pain, Dyspnea, Cough, Hemoptysis, Weight, and the Use of Opioids and Non-Opioids Analgesics)Every 3 weeks for up to 6 months on study treatment

Improvement of ≥ 1 tumor related symptom = clinical benefit responder. Pain improvement = decrease of ≥ 1 National Cancer Institute (NCI) grade from baseline of ≥ 1 symptom of NCI pain category, without pain symptom worsening. Cough, dyspnea and hemoptysis improvement = decrease of ≥ 1 NCI grade from baseline. Positive weight change ≥ 5 percent gain from baseline. Positive analgesic consumption = change from baseline from opioid to non-opioid category.
