- Complete Response (CR) and Complete Response Unconfirmed (CRu) [ Time Frame: EOT; approximately 6 months ]Proportion of patients with a best response of complete response (CR) or Complete Response unconfirmed (CRu) in the End Of Treatment (EOT) or End Of Study (EOS) analyses by independent assessment in the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population through the End of Treatment (EOT)
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 18 months after 6 cycles of treatment; approximately 24 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of the initial documentation of progressive/relapsed disease or death due to any cause.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 18 months after 6 cycles of treatment; approximately 24 months ]The time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) Lasting at Least 4 Months [ Time Frame: approximately 24 months ]The proportion of patients with Complete response or Partial Response with a difference from the first documented objective response to disease progression or death of at least 4 months.
