Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression as Determined by the Investigator According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) or Death From Any Cause in Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1)-Selected Population
Time Frame: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
Tumor response was assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. Disease Progression (PD) was defined as greater than or equal to (\>/=) 20 percent (%) relative increase in the sum of diameters (SoD) of all target lesions (TLs), taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of \>/=5 millimeters (mm); \>/=1 new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-TLs.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator According to RECIST v1.1 in PD-L1-Selected Population
Time Frame: Baseline until documented PD or death, whichever occurred first (until data cut-off date 29 September 2017, up to approximately 24 months)
PFS was defined as the time from randomization to PD, as determined by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: \>/=20% relative increase in the SoD of all TLs, taking as reference the smallest SoD on study, including baseline, and an absolute increase of \>/=5 mm; \>/=1 new lesion(s); and/or unequivocal progression of non-TLs. Participants without PFS event were censored at the last tumor assessment date. Participants with no post-baseline tumor assessments were censored at the randomization date + 1 day. Participants with a PFS event who missed \>/=2 scheduled assessments immediately prior to the PFS event were censored at the last tumor assessment prior to the missed visits. Median PFS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% confidence interval (CI) was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
Percentage of Participants Who Died of Any Cause in ITT Population
Time Frame: Baseline until death from any cause (until data cut-off date 14 February 2020, up to approximately 57 months)
Percentage of participants who died of any cause was reported.
Overall Survival (OS) in ITT Population
Time Frame: Baseline until death from any cause (until data cut-off date 14 February 2020, up to approximately 57 months)
OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. Participants who were not reported as having died at the date of analysis were censored at the date when they were last known to be alive. Participants who did not have post-baseline information were censored at the date of randomization + 1 day. Median OS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and 95% CI was assessed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
