Title Overall Survival (PP Population)
Hide Description Overall survival (OS) defined as time from randomization to date of death from any cause. Patients without recorded death were censored at the date the patient was last known to be alive. OS was analyzed at two looks, one interim look and the final analysis. Due to group sequential testing, the overall significance level alpha = 0.025 was spent on both looks according to Lan-DeMets spending method with O'Brien-Fleming-type boundaries. Alpha spent at Interim after 47% of information was 0.0010. Alpha spent at final analysis after 99% of information was 0.0250.
Time Frame Time from the date of randomization to the date of death or date last known to be alive, assessed up to approximately 6 years

Title Objective Response Rate and Disease Control Rate (ITT Population)
Hide Description Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response or partial response. Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the proportion of patients with complete response, partial response and stable disease. The best overall response according to the RECIST criteria is the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence or within 28 days of last intake of study medication in the Study Treatment Phase
Time Frame Up to disease progression or up to 28 days after last intake of study medication, assessed up to approximately 5 years.

Adverse Event Reporting Description

The safety population comprised all patients randomized who received at least one dose of study medication. For the purpose of safety analyses, patients were included in the treatment groups of the treatment actually received. However, if patients received only one component of the assigned combination treatment (e.g. only paclitaxel in group A), then they were analyzed under the Treatment group randomized.

1 patient in Arm A and 2 patients in Arm B were not treated.
