PRIMARY outcome
Timeframe: Every 6 weeks from randomization during the first 9 months and thereafter, every 9 weeks up to 20 monthsPopulation: Efficacy population included all participants randomly assigned to either treatment arm with externally confirmed pathological and molecular diagnosis of translocation-related sarcomas (TRS)
The PFS was assessed as median number of days from the date of randomization until the first documented sign of disease progression (increase in disease; radiographic, clinical, or both) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred earlier.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: 6 monthsPopulation: Efficacy population included all participants randomly assigned to either treatment arm with externally confirmed pathological and molecular diagnosis of TRS.
Percentage of participants survived for 6 months from the start of study treatment without progression of disease. Progression of the disease was associated with increasing symptoms, including pain from new or progressing lesions. Delay in disease progression generally represents a clinical benefit to the participant.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Every 6 weeks during first 9 months of the study and thereafter every 9 weeks up to 20 monthsPopulation: Efficacy population included all participants randomly assigned to either treatment arm with externally confirmed pathological and molecular diagnosis of TRS.
Tumor response was assessed according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria: Partial Response (PR)=at least 30% reduction in the sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of all target lesions in reference to the baseline sum LD, Complete Response (CR) =Disappearance of all non-target lesions. Percentage of participants with objective tumor response was determined by the number of participants with PR or CR divided by the total number of response-evaluable participants.

SECONDARY outcome
Timeframe: Up to 20 monthsPopulation: Efficacy population included all participants randomly assigned to either treatment arm with externally confirmed pathological and molecular diagnosis of TRS. 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.
The DOR is defined as the time from date of first documentation of response (CR or PR, whichever comes first) to the date of documented PD or death. PR=at least 30% reduction in the sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of all target lesions in reference to the baseline sum LD, CR =Disappearance of all non-target lesions.
