Placebo + Carboplatin + PaclitaxelPlacebo to veliparibParticipants received placebo orally BID on Days -2 to 5 (7 consecutive days) of each 21-day cycle and carboplatin at an AUC 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 200 mg/m² by IV infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to a maximum 6 cycles of treatment, until treatment toxicity which, in the Investigator's opinion, prohibited further therapy, or until radiographic progression.
Veliparib + Carboplatin + PaclitaxelCarboplatinParticipants received veliparib 120 mg orally twice daily (BID) on Days -2 to 5 (7 consecutive days) of each 21-day cycle and carboplatin at an area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) 6 mg/mL/min and paclitaxel 200 mg/m² by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to a maximum 6 cycles of treatment, until treatment toxicity which, in the Investigator's opinion, prohibited further therapy, or until radiographic progression.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS) in current smokersUp to 3 years from first dose of study drug

Time to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progressive-Free Survival (PFS) in current smokers and in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drug

Defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date the subject experiences an event of disease progression or to the date of death (all causes of mortality) if disease progression is not reached.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) in current smokers and in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drug

Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of subjects with complete or partial response as determined by the investigator per RECIST (version 1.1)

Overall Survival (OS) in all subjectsUp to 3 years from first dose of study drug

Time to death for a given subject will be defined as the number of days from the date that the subject was randomized to the date of the subject's death.
