Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease-free survival (DFS)From date of randomization to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years

From the date of randomization to the date of first observation of disease progression, or relapse, or death due to any cause。

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
