Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
Eligible Gender:All
Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ at any time during the trial. Responses will be determined by independent central radiologic review, with confirmatory assessment as required per RECIST 1.1. Participants with unknown or missing response information will be treated as non-responders. The percentage of participants who experience a CR or PR based on modified RECIST 1.1 will be presented.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:DOR, defined in the subset of participants with a CR or PR, based on RECIST 1.1 as assessed by independent central radiologic review, as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until the first documented sign of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. A Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. Participants who are alive, have not progressed, have not initiated new anti-cancer treatment, and have not been determined to be lost to follow-up are considered ongoing responders at the time of analysis.
Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the time from allocation to the first documented disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 as assessed by independent central radiologic review, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as ≥20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of ≥5 mm. Note: The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. If a participant does not have a documented date of progression or death, PFS will be censored at the date of the last adequate assessment.
Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:Up to approximately 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:OS was defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS is presented. Censoring will be performed using the date of last known contact for those who are alive at the time of analysis.
