PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From randomization to death or last known alive date, assessed up to 15.6 months

Population: All participants who were randomized

Overall survival is defined for each patient as the time between randomization and death. If a patient has not died, he or she will be censored at the time of last contact (last known alive date)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

Population: All participants who were randomized

DCR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized participants with best overall response as complete response, partial response, or stable disease, divided by the total number of randomized participants in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined time frame. Thus, no participants were analyzed. Because the study ended before best overall response could be determined, no participants were analyzed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

Population: All participants who were randomized

BORR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial response, divided by the total number of randomized patients in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined timeframe. Because the study ended before best overall response for all patients was defined, no participant data was analyzed.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: From Day 1 of treatment to 90 days after last dose (or to death date for death information)

Population: All participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug

AE=any new unfavorable symptom, sign, or disease or worsening of a preexisting condition that may not have a causal relationship with treatment. SAE=a medical event that at any dose results in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or drug dependency/abuse; is life-threatening, an important medical event, or a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or requires or prolongs hospitalization.
