- Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on two consecutive occasions 4 weeks apart, as determined by the Investigator according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1).
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]PFS is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment to the first occurrence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS will be calculated based on disease status evaluated by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]OS is defined as the time from initiation of study treatment to death from any cause.
- Duration of Objective Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]DOR is defined as the time from initial response to disease progression or death among patients who have experienced a CR or PR (unconfirmed) during the study. Duration of response will be calculated based on disease status evaluated by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]DCR is defined as the proportion of patients who have a best overall response of CR or PR or SD, as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1
- Distribution of TMB Expression [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]Positive is defined as >=10 Muts/Mb. Negative is defined as <10 Muts/Mb.
- Distribution of PD-L1 Expression [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]Positive is defined as TC or IC >=1%. Negative is defined as TC or IC <1%.
- Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]
- Percentage of Participants With Immune-Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3.5 years ]
