Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient Benefit Rate at 12 Weeks12 weeks from randomisation

Percentage of patients with patient benefit at week 12. Patient benefit was defined by the absence of central nervous system (CNS) disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.1 in addition to no tumour-related worsening of the neurological signs and symptoms (NSS), no tumour-related increase in corticosteroid dosage and no progression of extra CNS disease according to RECIST 1.1

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-Free SurvivalFrom first drug administration until 28 days after end of treatment, up to 805 days

Progression-Free Survival is defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of disease progression or death whichever came first.

Disease progression was defined as either disease progression in CNS lesions (including worsening in NSS and use of corticosteroid) or disease progression in extra-CNS lesions according to RECIST 1.1.

Overall SurvivalFrom first drug administration until 28 days after end of treatment, up to 805 days
