Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigator-Assessed Progression-Free Survival (PFS) in the Primary Analysis Set (PAS)Up to 32.3 months

PFS was defined as time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression (PD), as assessed by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters at prior timepoints (including baseline), in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm).

Overall Survival (OS) in the PASUp to 32.3 months

OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigator-Assessed DOR in the FASUp to 32.3 months

DOR was defined as the time interval from the date of the first occurrence of a confirmed objective response until the first date of PD as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. DOR was evaluated for participants who had an objective response of CR or PR. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters at prior timepoints (including baseline), in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm.

Investigator-Assessed PFS Rates at 6 Months and 12 Months in the PASMonth 6, Month 12

PFS = time from randomization to the first occurrence of PD, per investigator per RECIST v1.1/ death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS rate at 6 and 12 = the percentage of participants who have not experienced PD per investigator per RECIST v1.1/ death from any cause at 6 and 12 months. PD =at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the SOD at prior timepoints (including baseline), in addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Kaplan-Meier (K-M) method was used to estimate PFS rate. Percentages have been rounded off. Abbreviation used in Statistical Analysis section - Event Free Rate - EFR. The event free rate (for example the inv-PFS free rate of 10.24% at 12-months) used the K-M approach to estimate, which accounts for the censoring, the specific nature of time-to-event data. Naive calculation based on patient proportion will introduce bias.

Overall Survival Rates at 12 Months and 24 Months in the FASMonth 12, Month 24

OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. OS rate at 12 months and 24 months was defined as the percentage of participants who did not experience death from any cause at 12 months and 24 months. Percentages have been rounded off.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse EventsUp to 66 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, regardless of causal attribution. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product, any new disease or exacerbation of an existing disease (a worsening in the character, frequency, or severity of a known condition), recurrence of an intermittent medical condition not present at baseline, any deterioration in a laboratory value or other clinical test that is associated with symptoms or leads to a change in study treatment or concomitant treatment or discontinuation from study drug or adverse events that are related to a protocol-mandated intervention, including those that occur prior to assignment of study treatment.
