Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Progression-free Survival (PFS) after 6 months according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.	PFS is defined as the 6 month from the date of randomization to disease progression (progressive disease [PD] or relapse from complete response [CR] as assessed using RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per RECIST 1.1 criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.	6 Months
Primary	Progression-free Survival (PFS) after 6 months according to IRECIST criteria.	PFS is defined as the 6 month from the date of randomization to disease progression (progressive disease [PD] or relapse from complete response [CR] as assessed using iRECIST criteria) or death due to any cause. Per iRECIST criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions, Stable Disease (SD) is <30% decrease or <20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions.	6 months
Secondary	Number of participants experiencing grade 3 or above drug-related toxicities	• When calculating the incidence of AEs, each AE (as defined by NCI CTCAE v5.0) will be counted only once for a given subject. Estimation based on the Kaplan-Meier curve.	4 years
