Measure Description: The ECOG score assesses how the disease affects a participant's daily living abilities. It ranges from 0-5, with 0 being the best and 5 being the worst outcome. "0" reflects a fully active participant, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction. "1" reflects a participant restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature. "2" reflects an ambulatory participant, who is up and about more than 50% of waking hours, and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities.

1.Primary Outcome
Title Overall Survival (OS)
Hide Description

Overall Survival was the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. Once disease progression was documented, participants were followed every 2 months for survival status, until death or until the study cutoff date, whichever came first. The final data cutoff date for the analysis of OS was the date when 863 deaths had occurred (07 February 2011).

OS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Hazard Ratio was estimated using the Cox Proportional Hazard Model.

Time Frame From the date of the first randomization until the study data cut-off date, 07 February 2011 (approximately three years)

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Progression-free Survival (PFS) Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)
Hide Description

PFS was the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of progression, or death from any cause if it occurs before tumor progression is documented. To evaluate disease progression, copies of all tumor imaging sets were systematically collected and assessed by the IRC.

PFS was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the Hazard Ratio was estimated using the Cox Proportional Hazard Model.

The analysis for PFS was performed as planned when 561 deaths (OS events) had occurred.

Time Frame From the date of the first randomization until the occurrence of 561 OS events, 06 May 2010 (approximately 30 months)

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on the Tumor Assessment by the Independent Review Committee (IRC) as Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) Criteria
Hide Description

The overall ORR was the percentage of evaluable participants who achieved complete response [CR] or partial response [PR] according to RECIST criteria version 1.0.

  • CR reflected the disappearance of all tumor lesions (with no new tumors)
  • PR reflected a pre-defined reduction in tumor burden

Tumors were assessed by the IRC using Computerized Tomography (CT) scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans; and an observed response was confirmed by repeated imaging after 4 - 6 weeks.

Time Frame From the date of the first randomization until the study data cut-off date, 06 May 2010 (approximately 30 months)
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
The evaluable patient population (EPP) for tumor response included all randomized participants with measurable disease at study entry, as per IRC evaluation, and with at least one valid post-baseline tumor evaluation.
