1.Primary Outcome
Title Disease-free Survival (DFS)
Hide Description

Disease-free survival is defined as the time between randomization date and first date of recurrence or death, whichever occurs first.

Recurrence is defined as the appearance of one or more new lesions, which can be local, regional, or distant in location from the primary resected site ( assessed by imaging or pathology). All deaths without prior recurrence are considered as DFS events. For participants who remained alive and without recurrence, DFS was censured on the date of last evaluable disease assessment

Time Frame From randomization to the date of recurrence or death (up to approximately 46 months)

2.Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Survival (OS)
Hide Description Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death from any cause. For subjects that are alive, their survival time was censored at the date of last contact date (or "last known alive date"). Overall survival was censored at the date of randomization for subjects who were randomized but had no follow-up.
Time Frame From randomization to the date of death (up to approximately 46 months)
Outcome Measure Data Not Reported
3.Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Survival Rate
Hide Description Overall survival rate is defined as the percentage of participants who are alive at 1, 2 and 3 years following randomization
Time Frame From randomization to 1, 2 and 3 years later
Outcome Measure Data Not Reported
Time Frame From first dose to 30 days following last dose
Adverse Event Reporting Description Number of All cause mortality events is set to 0 because of the Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) suggestion to maintain the blinding of the death data by arm in the study while the investigators and patients are blinded until study completion.
