Timeframe: 2 years and 7 months

PFS is defined as the number of months 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.

irPFS is defined as the number of months from the date of randomization to disease progression (PD or relapse from CR as assessed using irRC RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per irRC criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =\>30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline, Progressive Disease (PD) is \>20% increase in tumor burden compared with nadir, Stable Disease (SD) is \<30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline or \<20% increase in tumor burden compared to nadir.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years and 7 months

Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Individuals are censored at the date of the last radiological assessment that occurs prior to any of the following: death, switch to another anti-cancer therapy, or end of follow-up. Individuals without follow-up or baseline measurements are censored at 1 day. 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.
