What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
best objective response during treatment period (phase II)	the best response rate evaluated with RECIST v1.1 criteria per an independent radiologist committee during the treatment period defined as the number of with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as best response divided by the total number of patients evaluable. Patients for whom best overall tumor response is not CR or PR will be considered non-responders.	during treatment period (from first treatment administration and disease progression, an average of 14 months
overall survival (OS) (phase III)	Overall survival is defined as the time from the randomization to death from any cause.	through study completion, an average of 64 months
