- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: up to 4.5 years ]Defined as the time from the date of randomization until disease progression according to RECIST v1.1 by BICR or death due to any cause.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 4.5 years ]Defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 4.5 years ]Defined as the proportion of participants who have a confirmed complete response or partial response per RECIST v1.1 based on BICR.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 4.5 years ]Defined as the time from the earliest date of documented response until earliest date of disease progression (per RECIST v1.1 based on BICR) or death from any cause, whichever comes first.
- Disease Control Rate(DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 4.5 years ]Defined as the number of participants maintaining either an ORR or stable disease.
- Number of treatment-emergent adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 4.5 years ]Defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study treatment up to 90 days after last dose of study treatment.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Able to comprehend and willing to sign a written ICF for the study.
- Are 18 years of age or older (or as applicable per local country requirements).
