Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) Per Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the event, defined as the first radiologically documented disease progression per RECIST v. 1.1 or death due to any cause. If a patient has not progressed or died at the analysis cut-off date or when the patient receives further anti-neoplastic therapy, PFS was censored on the date of the last adequate tumor assessment before the earlier of the cut-off date or start of the further anti-neoplastic therapy date.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. If a patient was not known to have died by the date of analysis cut-off, OS was censored at the date of last contact.

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) as Per Local Radiological Assessment [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    ORR: percentage of patients with best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes must have a short axis of <10 mm and the disappearance of all non-target lesions). PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters or the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions or lymph nodes identified as a site of disease at Baseline with a short axis of ≥10mm).

  3. Time to Response (TTR) as Per Local Radiological Assessment [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    TTR is the time from date of randomization until first documented response (CR or PR, which has to be confirmed subsequently) according to RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes must have a short axis of <10 mm and the disappearance of all non-target lesions). PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters or the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions or lymph nodes identified as a site of disease at Baseline with a short axis of ≥10mm).

  4. Disease Control Rate (DCR) as Per Local Radiological Assessment [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    DCR is the percentage of patients with a best overall response of CR, PR or stable disease (SD), according to RECIST v1.1. CR is defined as disappearance of all target lesions & any pathological lymph nodes must have a short axis of <10 mm & the disappearance of all non-target lesions). PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference, the Baseline sum of the diameters or the persistence of 1 or more non-target lesions or lymph nodes identified as a site of disease at Baseline with a short axis of ≥10mm). SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR or CR nor an increase in lesions which would qualify for PD. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm^2.

  5. Duration of Response (DoR) as Per Local Investigator [ Time Frame: 4 weeks and thereafter every 6 weeks until disease progression or death up to 3.5 years ]
    DoR is the time from the date of the first documented response (CR or PR, which had to be confirmed subsequently) to the date of the first radiologically documented disease progression or death due to disease according to RECIST v1.1 .

  6. Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL):Time to 10% Definitive Deterioration in the Global Health Status/Quality of Life Per EORTC-QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: Baseline, every 6 weeks starting from cycle 2 day 15 up to 3.5 years ]
    A summary of EORTC-QLQ-C30 scores by time window. Time to deterioration is the number of days between the date of randomization and the date of the assessment at which definitive deterioration is seen. Definitive Deterioration in global health status and symptoms was defined as a decrease in the subscale score by at least 10% compared to baseline, with no later increase above this threshold observed during the course of the study. If a patient had not had an event prior to analysis cut-off or start of another anticancer therapy, time to deterioration was censored at the date of the last quality of life (QoL) evaluation.

  7. Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL):Time to 10% Definitive Deterioration in the Head and Neck Cancer Symptoms Scales for Pain, Speech Problems, Swallowing and Sense Problems Per EORTC-QLQ-HN35 [ Time Frame: Baseline, every 6 weeks starting from cycle 2 day 15 up to 3.5 years ]
    A summary of EORTC-QLQ-HN35 scores by time window. Time to deterioration is the number of days between the date of randomization and the date of the assessment at which definitive deterioration is seen. Definitive Deterioration in global health status and symptoms was defined as an increase in the subscale score of at least 10% compared to baseline, with no later decrease above this threshold observed during the course of the study. If a patient had not had an event prior to analysis cut-off or start of another anticancer therapy, time to deterioration was censored at the date of the last quality of life (QoL) evaluation.

  8. Plasma Concentration-time Profiles of BKM120 Pharmacokinetics (PK) for AUC0-24 and AUClast [ Time Frame: Time point(s) at which PK samples for Non-Compartmental analysis were collected were 0, 0.5,1,1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9 and 24 hours at Cycle 1, Day 15 ]
