- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Independent Central Review Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was the defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), assessed by independent central review (ICR) committee based on RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Confirmed ORR based on ICR is reported.
- Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on Investigator Assessment Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), assessed by investigator assessment based on RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Confirmed ORR based on investigator assessment is reported.
- Duration of Response (DoR) Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]Duration of Response (DoR) was defined as the time from the date of the first documentation of objective response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) to the date of the first objective documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause. DoR in participants with confirmed CR/PR based on independent central review and investigator assessment is reported.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the earlier of the dates of the first objective documentation of disease progression (as per RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause. Progressive disease was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. PFS based on independent central review and investigator assessment is reported.
- Overall Survival (OS) Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of death due to any cause.
- Percentage of Participants With Disease Control Rate (DCR) Following Treatment With DS8201a in Participants With HER2-Over-Expressing or -Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months (data cut-off) ]Disease Control Rate (DCR) was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) during study treatment. Confirmation of CR/PR was required. DCR based on independent central review and investigator assessment is reported.
