2.Secondary Outcome
Title Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Assessed by the Investigator
Hide Description Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the interval of time between the date of randomization and the first documented occurrence of disease progression or death due to any cause. PFS for investigator-assessed response was summarized per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), Version 1.1, which is a set of published rules defining when cancer patients improve (respond), stay the same (stabilize), or worsen (progress) during treatment. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm) or the appearance of at least 1 new lesion, or the worsening of non-target lesions significant enough to require study treatment discontinuation.
Time Frame From randomization until the earliest date of disease progression (PD) or death due to any cause (up to approximately 6 years)

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Response Rate (ORR) During Randomized Phase, as Assessed by the Investigator
Hide Description Overall response was defined as the percentage of confirmed responders (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] per RECIST, Version 1.1) as summarized by Investigator assessment. CR was defined as the disappearance of all evidence of target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30% reduction from Baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of all target lesions. Data were reported as those participants with measureable disease at Baseline.
Time Frame From randomization until the first documented complete response or partial response (up to approximately 6 years)

PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions with an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or the appearance of at least1 new lesion, or the worsening of non-target lesions significant enough to require study treatment discontinuation.

5.Post-Hoc Outcome
Title All Collected Deaths
Hide Description

Pre-treatment deaths were collected from screening visit up to the first day of treatment, for a maximum duration of 28 days. Patients who died during the screening period are considered as screen failure.

On treatment deaths were collected from FPFT up to 30 days after study drug discontinuation, for a maximum duration of 81.1 months (treatment duration ranged from 0.1 to 80.1 months).

Deaths post treatment survival follow up were collected after the on- treatment period, up to approximately 6 years. Patients who didn't die during the on-treatment period and had not stopped study participation at the time of data cut-off (end of study) were censored.

Time Frame up to 28 days before Day 1 (Screening), up to 81.1 months (on-treatment), up to approximately 6 years (study duration)
