Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS=time from randomization date to date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD; defined as greater than or equal to \[≥\]20% increase in sum of longest dimensions of target lesions taking as a reference smallest sum of longest dimensions recorded since first dose or appearance of ≥1 new lesions) or death on-study due to any cause, whichever occurred first based on third party independent imaging review laboratory assessment. PFS calculated as (first event date minus randomization date plus 1) divided by 7.02. Used 7.02 days as it equals 365 days per year divided by 52 weeks per year.
Time frame: From randomization to Weeks 8 and 12, then every 8 weeks until disease progression or death (up to Month 17)
Percentage of Participants With Objective Response
Objective Response Rate (ORR)=participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST,Version 1.0) based on third party independent imaging review laboratory assessment. A CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions that persisted on repeat imaging study at least 4 weeks after initial documentation of response. A PR was defined as a ≥30% decrease in sum of longest dimensions of target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum longest dimensions.
Time frame: From randomization to Weeks 8 and 12, then every 8 weeks until disease progression or death (up to Month 17)
Time to Tumor Progression (TTP)
TTP was defined as the time from date of randomization to first documentation of PD based on third party independent imaging review laboratory assessment. TTP was calculated as (first event date minus randomization date plus 1) divided by 7.02.
Time frame: From randomization to Weeks 8 and 12, then every 8 weeks until disease progression or death (up to Month 17)
Duration of Response (DR)
DR was defined as time from first documentation of objective tumor response (CR or PR) that was subsequently confirmed to the first documentation of PD or death on-study due to any cause, whichever occurred first. DR was calculated as (first date of PD or death minus first date of CR or PR that was subsequently confirmed plus 1) divided by 7.02.
