Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
   the total number of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is either irCR or irPR divided by the total number of response-evaluable participants.
2. Time to Response [ Time Frame: Up to 3 Years ]
   the time from the first dose of study drug until the first documentation of irCR or irPR, as related to current database lock date or most current tumor measurement
3. Duration of Response [ Time Frame: from the first documented response (irCR or irPR) until progression or death ]
   the time from the first documented response (irCR or irPR) until progression or death, whichever occurs first. For participants who did not progress or die, duration of response will be censored on the date of the last tumor assessment.
4. Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: 156 weeks ]
   the time from the first dose to the first observation of disease progression or death due to any cause. If a participant has not progressed or died at the time of analysis, PFS will be censored on the date of the last disease assessment. Participants who did not have any on-study tumor assessments and did not die will be censored on the date of the first dose of study medication.
