What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]	ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving either CR or PR. Response was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version (v) 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and the normalization of the tumour marker level. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Percentage of participants is calculated as a total number of participants with CR or PR / total number of participants treated * 100.	Randomization to measured progressive disease (PD) (up to 16.9 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)	OS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause. For participants who were alive, OS was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.	Randomization to death due to any cause or censor (up to 30.4 months)
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	PFS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Response was defined using RECIST, v 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having a ≥20% increase in sum of LD of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. For participants who were alive and without disease progression, PFS was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. For participants who did not experience disease progression and were lost to follow-up, PFS was censored at the date of the last objective tumor assessment or the date of last contact.	Randomization to PD or death due to any cause or censor (up to 16.9 months)
Time To Progression (TTP)	TTP was defined as the duration from the date of randomization until the date of disease progression. Response was defined using RECIST v 1.0 criteria. PD was defined as having a ≥20% increase in the sum of LD of target lesions or the appearance of new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. For participants without disease progression, TTP was censored at the date of last objective tumor assessment. For participants without disease progression and were subsequently lost to follow-up, TTP was censored at the date of last follow-up visit or at the date of last contact.	Randomization to months until PD or censor (up to 16.9 months)
Duration of Response	The duration of CR or PR was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of disease progression or death. Response was defined using RECIST v 1.0 criteria. CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and non-target lesions. PR was defined as having at least a 30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesions. Duration of response was censored on the date of last tumor assessment for participants who were alive and have no evidence of disease progression.	Date of first response to the date of PD or death due to any cause or censor ( up to 15.5 months)
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Deaths	Data presented are the number of participants who experienced 1 or more AEs, serious AEs (SAEs), and AEs that lead to death during the study including the 30-day follow-up. A summary of SAEs and other non-serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in the Reported Adverse Events section of this report.	Randomization to last dose of study medication (up to 11.7 months) plus 30-day safety follow-up
