Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Percentage of Cells Staining Positive for Ki-67 in All Biopsy Specimens at EndpointBaseline, endpoint (up to 8 months)

The number of cells positively stained for Ki-67 (a marker of cellular proliferation) was enumerated and divided by the total number of cells in each specimen. The average Ki-67 labeling index (LI) (percentage of cells positively labeled with Ki-67) for all histological specimens was then calculated for each participant.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)Baseline through end of study (up to 32 months)

Summary tables of serious AEs (SAEs) and all other non-serious AEs are located in the Reported Adverse Event Module.
