Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization date to date of first documented tumor progression or death, whichever occurs first (Up to 31 months) ]
    PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the first documented tumor progression date or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first based on BICR assessment using RECIST v1.1. Participants who die without a reported progression will be considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment on or prior to initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Progressive disease (PD); 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization date to death date (Up to 31 months) ]
    Overall Survival is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. For participants that are alive, their survival time will be censored at the date of last contact date (or "last known alive date").

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 31 Months ]

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of randomized participants who achieve a best response of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on BICR assessments (using RECIST v1.1 criteria) divided by the number of all randomized participants.

    Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.


  3. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first dose to 100 days following last dose (Up to 32 Months) ]
    Number of participants experiencing various types of any grade adverse events (AEs) during the specified time frame.

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From first to dose to 100 days following last dose (Up to 32 months) ]
    Number of participants experiencing various types of any grade serious adverse events (SAEs) during the specified time frame.

  5. Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Discontinuation [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days following last dose (Up to 30 months) ]
    Number of participants experiencing various types of any grade adverse events (AEs) leading to discontinuation during the specified time frame.

  6. Number of Deaths [ Time Frame: From first dose to (up to 31 months) following first dose ]
    Number of deaths due to any cause during the specified time frame.

  7. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days following last dose (Up to 30 Months) ]
    Number of participants experiencing laboratory abnormalities in hematology, serum chemistry and electrolytes with grade 3 or higher during the specified time frame.

  8. Number of Participants With Laboratory Values Grade Shifting From Baseline [ Time Frame: From first dose to 30 days following last dose (Up to 30 Months) ]
    Number of participants experiencing worsening shift from baseline in any grade and grade 3-4 of laboratory values during the specified time frame.
