Other Statistical Analysis The Rho family spending function with parameter (Rho = 6) was used to allocate alpha between the interim and primary OS analysis. Given that fewer than the anticipated 210 events were observed at the data cutoff date for the primary OS analysis (25 January 2023), the efficacy boundary for the primary OS analysis was recalculated using the Rho family spending function based on the actual observed event numbers (177 deaths) resulting in an efficacy boundary at 1-sided significance level of 0.0249.

Title Change From Baseline in Global Health Status Scores
Hide Description Global health status was measured using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C-30. This health related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaire was comprised of 15 questions on functional scales, 13 questions on symptom scales and 2 on global health status scale. Global Health Status used a 7 point Likert-type scale of 1 (Very poor) to 7 (Excellent). All scores were transformed to 0-100. Higher scores for Global Health Status indicated better HRQoL.

Title Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Physical Functioning Score
Hide Description

The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of global health status/QoL scale; five functional domains (physical, role, emotional, cognitive, and social); three symptom domains (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain); and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties).

The Physical Functioning domain includes 5 questions in which participants were asked to rate their overall health and overall quality of life as it relates to physical functioning during the past week on a scale from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent). The 5 scores were transformed to a scale from 0 to 100, where a high score indicated better QoL. A positive change from baseline indicates better QoL.

Title Changes From Baseline in the European Quality of Life Five Dimensions Five Levels Scale (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score
Hide Description The Euro-QOL, Five Dimensions, Five Levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire is a generic measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L comprises 2 components: a questionnaire covering 5 dimensions and a tariff of values based upon direct valuations of health states using a visual analog scale (VAS). The total score for EQ-5D-5L index- is presented on a range from 0 to 1 where higher scores indicate better outcome. A positive change from Baseline indicates improvement.

Title Change From Baseline in EQ-5D-5L VAS Scale Score
Hide Description The EQ-5D-5L VAS is a 20-cm VAS for recording self-rated current HRQoL state and is used to describe the participants' health status on the day of the assessment. The EQ-5D-5L VAS score is recorded by each participant for his or her current HRQoL state and scored 0 ("the worst health you can imagine") to 100 ("the best health you can imagine"). The value 100 indicates improvement.
