Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective Response Rate	Objective response is defined as a participant with the best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v 1.1, prior to receiving any subsequent anticancer therapy and retreatment, and is confirmed by a consecutive response assessment at least 4 weeks (28 days) from the initial determination of CR/PR. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the Independent Review Committee (IRC) and investigators.; CR: disappearance of all target lesions.Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.; PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Primary	Overall Survival	Overall survival is defined as the time from the first dose date to death for any reason. Participants who were alive at the clinical data cut-off were censored at the last known alive date. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Secondary	Overall Response Rate	Overall response rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a response of CR or PR, regardless of confirmation, per RECIST v 1.1 prior to receiving any subsequent anticancer therapy and retreatment. Any participants not exhibiting a response (CR or PR) as defined above were considered non-responders. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the IRC and investigators.; CR: disappearance of all target lesions.Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.; PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Secondary	Duration of Objective Response	Duration of objective response is defined as the time from the date of first documented CR or PR of participants with a confirmed response to the documented date of progressive disease (PD) or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who neither progressed nor died are censored at the last evaluable disease assessment. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the IRC and investigators. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.; CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.; PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.; PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (includes the baseline sum). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.)	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Secondary	Progression-Free Survival	Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the first dose date to the documented date of PD or death, whichever occurred first. Participants who neither progressed nor died were censored at the last evaluable disease assessment. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the IRC and investigators. Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates.; PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (includes the baseline sum). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.)	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Secondary	Clinical Benefit Rate	Clinical benefit rate is defined as the percentage of participants with an overall response of CR or PR or stable disease (SD) with SD of a minimum duration of 42 days from the first dose date. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the IRC and investigators.; CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.; PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.; SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.; PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (includes the baseline sum). The sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.)	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks
Secondary	Duration of Clinical Benefit	Duration of clinical benefit is defined as time from the date of first documented CR or PR or SD of = 42 days from first dose date (-7 days to allow for scheduled visit window per the protocol) to the documented date PD or death, whichever occurs first. Analyzed based on response assessments from both the IRC and investigators.; CR: disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.; PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.; SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.	up to 122.4 weeks; mean (SD) duration of follow-up was 29.0 (23.77) weeks

Secondary	Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events (TEAEs) During Initial Treatment	An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: is fatal or life-threatening; results in death or hospitalization; is disabling/incapacitating or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is medically significant. AE severity was graded using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 4.03 terminology: grade 1=mild; grade 2=moderate; grade 3=severe; grade 4 life-threatening; grade 5=death. TEAEs were defined as AEs that were newly occurring or worsened following study treatment.	From first dose of study drug through the end of the initial treatment period (84 ± 6 days)
Secondary	Number of Participants With TEAEs Occurring in at Least 10% of All Participants During Initial Treatment	TEAEs were defined as AEs that were newly occurring or worsened following study treatment.	From first dose of study drug through the end of the initial treatment period (84 ± 6 days)
