Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants Achieving Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR): Objective Intracranial Response Rate (OIRR)Baseline to Objective Disease Progression (Up to 36 Months)

OIRR is the percentage of participants with a (CR) or (PR) based on the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Brain Metastasis (RANO-BM) response criteria. CR is measurable target lesions, the disappearance of all central nervous system (CNS) target lesions for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; no corticosteroids; stable or improved clinically. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum longest duration (LD) of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; stable to decreased corticosteroid dose; stable or improved clinically. Nontarget lesions requires disappearance CNS non-target lesions and no new CNS lesions. Stable disease (SD) is less than (\<)30% decrease relative to baseline but \<20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir. Progressive disease (PD) is greater than or equal to (≥) 20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir and a relative increase of 20%, ≥1 lesion must increase by absolute value of ≥5 millimeter (mm).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Neurologic Symptoms on the MD Anderson Inventory-Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) SubscaleBaseline, Cycle 3 (Up to 63 Days)

The MDASI-BT is an instrument to assess multi-symptoms in participants with brain tumor metastases (including those with brain metastases secondary to breast cancer). The MDASI-BT of participants with a change from baseline is reported as mean core symptoms, mean brain tumor symptoms, and symptom groupings (mean focal neurologic deficit, mean generalized/disease status symptoms, and mean gastrointestinal symptoms). The mean of all symptom subscale items was calculated where 0 equals "not present" and 10 equals "as bad as you can imagine." A change from baseline with negative values indicate improvement, positive values indicate worsening.

Duration of CR or PR: Duration of Intracranial Response (DOIR)Date of CR or PR to Date of Objective Disease Progression or Death from Any Cause (Up to 36 Months)

DOIR is measured from the date of first evidence of a confirmed response (CR or PR), as defined by RANO-BM, to the date objective progression or death from any cause. CR is measurable target lesions, the disappearance of all CNS target lesions for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; no corticosteroids; stable or improved clinically. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum LD of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; stable to decreased corticosteroid dose; stable or improved clinically. Participants who have neither progressed nor died were censored on the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment or on the date of response. PD is greater than or equal to (≥) 20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir and a relative increase of 20%, ≥1 lesion must increase by absolute value of ≥5 mm. DOIR was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum LD of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; stable to decreased corticosteroid dose; stable or improved clinically. Nontarget lesions requires disappearance CNS non-target lesions and no new CNS lesions. SD is less than (\<)30% decrease relative to baseline but \<20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir. PD is greater than or equal to (≥) 20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir and a relative increase of 20%, ≥1 lesion must increase by absolute value of ≥5 mm.

CR is measurable target lesions, the disappearance of all CNS target lesions for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; no corticosteroids; stable or improved clinically. PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum LD of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; stable to decreased corticosteroid dose; stable or improved clinically. SD is \<30% decrease relative to baseline but \<20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir. PD is greater than or equal to (≥) 20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir and a relative increase of 20%, ≥1 lesion must increase by absolute value of ≥5 mm.

Percentage of Participants With a Best Overall Response of CR, PR, or SD: Extracranial Disease Control Rate (EDCR)Baseline to Disease Progression or Start of New Anticancer Therapy (Up to 36 Months)

Disease control rate (DCR) (CR+ PR+ SD) per RECIST v1.1. is defined as the percentage of participants with best overall response of CR, PR, or SD. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum LD of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study) and the 20% increase must be at least one lesion must increase by an absolute value of ≥5 mm to be considered progression.

Percentage of Participants With CR, PR, Stable Disease (SD), Progressive Disease (PD), or Not Evaluable (NE): Best Overall Intracranial Response (BOIR)Baseline to Earliest Objective Progression or Start of New Anticancer Therapy (Up to 36 Months)

Percentage of Participants with BOIR was categorized as CR, PR, SD, PD or NE, as defined by RANO-BM, from baseline until the earliest of objective progression according to brain metastases response criteria or start of new anticancer therapy. CR is measurable target lesions, the disappearance of all CNS target lesions for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions; no corticosteroids; stable or improved clinically.

NE is absent (no abnormality; normal), or non-evaluable (NE).

Overall Survival (OS)Baseline to the Date of Death from Any Cause (Up to 5 Years)

OS was measured from baseline to the date of death from any cause. For each participant who is not known to have died as of the data-inclusion cutoff date for a particular analysis, OS was censored for that analysis at the date of last contact prior to the data inclusion cutoff date (contacts considered in the determination of last contact date include adverse event (AE) date, tumor assessment date, visit date, and last known alive date). OS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

Percentage of Participants With a Best Response of CR or PR: Extracranial Objective Response Rate (EORR)Baseline to Disease Progression (Up to 36 Months)

The percentage of participants with a best response of CR or PR objective response rate is complete response (CR) + partial response (PR), as classified by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) guidelines. CR is disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR is ≥30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum LD of CNS target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study) and the 20% increase must be at least one lesion must increase by an absolute value of ≥5 mm to be considered progression.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Bi-compartmentalBaseline to Objective Disease Progression or Death from Any Cause (Up to 36 Months)

PFS was measured from baseline to objective progression (intracranial or extracranial) as defined by (RANO-BM.) or death from any cause. Participants who have neither progressed nor died were censored at the day of their last radiographic tumor assessment. PD is greater than or equal to (≥) 20% increase in sum LD relative to nadir and a relative increase of 20%, ≥1 lesion must increase by absolute value of ≥5 mm. PFS was summarized using Kaplan-Meier estimates.
