Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Percentage of Protocol Dose	The percentage of protocol specified dose administered during the induction and monotherapy periods. Percentage of protocol dose = (dose intensity / protocol weekly dose) * 100%; the protocol weekly dose of nab-paclitaxel is 66.67 mg/m2/week; the protocol weekly dose of carboplatin was 1.67 mg*min/mL/week.	From Day 1 of study drug treatment to end of study drug treatment; up to clinical data cut-off date of 24 February 2017; ; maximum treatment duration was 14.1 months.
Primary	Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment During the Induction Period Due to Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs).	Treatment-emergent adverse events were defined as any adverse event (AE) or serious adverse event (SAE) that occurred or worsened on or after the day of the first dose of the investigational product through 28 days after the last dose of IP. In addition, any SAE with an onset date more than 28 day after the last dose of IP that was assessed by the investigator as related to IP was considered a TEAE. A participant met the primary endpoint if: an AE was the reason for discontinuation as recorded in the electronic Case Report Form (eCRF) and the participant had no doses administered beyond Cycle 4. 95% confidence interval for the percentage was calculated using the Clopper Pearson method.	From date of the first dose of IP until 28 days after the last dose of IP during induction and SAEs made known to the investigator any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP; maximum treatment duration during induction was 3.9 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment During the Induction Period (Discontinuation Rate)	Discontinuation Rate was measured as Percentage of Participants who Discontinued Study Treatment During the Induction Period	From date of the first dose of IP until 28 days after the last dose of IP during induction and SAEs made known to the investigator any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP; maximum treatment duration during induction was 3.9 months
Secondary	Dose Intensity of Nab-Paclitaxel During the Entire Study	Dose intensity for nab-paclitaxel during the entire study period was (mg/m^2/week) = [cumulative dose for nab-paclitaxel in mg/m^2] / [nab-paclitaxel dosing period in weeks]	From Day 1 of study treatment to end of study treatment; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Dose Intensity of Carboplatin During the Entire Study	Dose intensity for carboplatin during the entire study period was (mg*min/mL/week) = [cumulative dose for carboplatin in mg*min/mL] / [carboplatin dosing period in weeks].	From Day 1 of study treatment to end of study treatment; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Dose Reductions During the Entire Study	A dose reduction occurs when the dose assigned at a visit was lower than the dose assigned at the previous visit. Dose reductions are typically caused by clinically significant laboratory abnormalities and/or treatment emergent adverse events or toxicities.	From day 1 of IP until 28 days after the last dose of IP; maximum treatment duration was 14.1 months during the entire study
Secondary	Kaplan Meier Estimate of Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	Progression-free survival was defined as the time in months from day 1 of treatment to the date of disease progression based on the investigator's assessment according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 criteria (documented by radiological assessment) or death (any cause) on or prior to the clinical cut-off date, which ever occurred earlier. RECIST V1.1 criteria includes: - Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions; - Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline; - Stable Disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase of lesions to qualify for progressive disease (PD); - Progressive Disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir	From Day 1 of study drug treatment to the date of disease progression; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Complete Response or Partial Response or Continued Stable Disease (Disease Control Rate)	Disease control rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had continued stable disease, complete or partial response during the course of the study, according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines, as evaluated by the investigator. RECIST V1.1 criteria includes: - Complete Response is the disappearance of all target lesions; - Partial Response is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline; - Stable Disease is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase of lesions to qualify for progressive disease; - Progressive Disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir	Response assessments were evaluated every 6 weeks; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Kaplan Meier Estimate of Overall Survival (OS)	Overall survival was defined as the time in months between day 1 of treatment and death from any cause). Participants who were still alive as of the clinical cut-off date had their OS censored at the date of last contact or clinical cut-off, whichever was earlier. Participants who were lost to follow-up prior to the end of the study or who were withdrawn from the study were censored at the time of last contact.	From Day 1 of study treatment to death from any cause; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Best Overall Response of Complete Response or Partial Response According to RECIST 1.1 Guidelines	Overall tumor response is defined as the percentage of participants who achieved an objective confirmed CR (the disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline) according to RECIST V1.1 guidelines, compared with baseline where baseline was the last computed tomography (CT) scan obtained prior to or on Day 1 of study treatment.	Response assessments were evaluated every 2 cycles; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Time to Response	Time to response was defined as the time from Day 1 of study treatment to the first occurrence of response (CR or PR) according to RECIST v1.1 guidelines. RECIST V1.1 criteria includes: - A Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions; - A Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline	From Day 1 of study drug treatment to the date of first occurrence of CR or PR; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Kaplan Meier Estimate of Duration of Response	Duration of overall response was measured from the time measurement criteria were first met for CR (the disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions from baseline), whichever was first recorded, until the first date that recurrent disease or PD (at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions from nadir) was radiologically documented (taking as reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded on study). Median and 95% CI were estimated based on the Kaplan-Meier method.	From Day 1 of study drug treatment to the date of first occurrence of CR or PR; up to the clinical cut-off date of 24 February 2017; maximum treatment duration on study was 14.1 months
Secondary	Number of Participants With TEAEs During the Induction and Monotherapy Periods	Treatment-emergent adverse events were defined as any adverse event or serious adverse event that occurred or worsened on or after the day of the first dose of the IP through 28 days after the last dose of IP. In addition, any SAE with an onset date more than 28 day after the last dose of IP that was assessed by the investigator as related to IP was considered a TEAE. The severity of AEs were graded based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.0 and the scale: Grade 1 = Mild l intervention/therapy required Grade 2 = Moderate Grade 3 = Severe Grade 4 = Life threatening Grade 5 = Death.	From date of the first dose of IP until 28 days after the last IP dose and SAEs made known to the investigator any time thereafter that are suspected of being related to IP; up to cutoff date of 24 Feb 2017; maximum treatment duration was 14.1 months
