1.Primary Outcome
Title Progression-free Survival
Hide Description Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever came first. Disease progression was defined as: (1) at least a 20% increase in the sum (the increase in the sum must be at least 5 mm) of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study; (2) unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; or (3) the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

3.Secondary Outcome
Title Percentage of Participants With an Objective Response
Hide Description An objective response was defined as a complete response or a partial response determined on two consecutive occasions ≥ 4 weeks apart. Responses were determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1. A complete response was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions or the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. A partial response was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

Hide Description Duration of response was defined as the time from first occurrence of a documented confirmed objective response until the time of disease progression, as determined by investigator review of tumor assessments using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors v1.1 or death from any cause during the study. Disease progression was defined as: (1) at least a 20% increase in the sum (the increase in the sum must be at least 5 mm) of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum during the study; (2) unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions; or (3) the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

Adverse Event Reporting Description

1 participant was randomized in Placebo + Vem but did not receive any study treatment, 1 participant randomized in Cobi+ Vem but did not receive any study treatment, two participants were randomized in Placebo + Vem but received the Cobi+Vem.

All-cause Mortality is reported for the ITT population, SAEs and AEs are reported for the safety population. 1 participant died after 30 days from the last dose of treatment, after crossing over from the Placebo + Vem to the Cobi+Vem arm.
