- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Progression free survival is measured as time from date of randomization to the earliest event time of death regardless of cause or first indication of disease progression.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Overall survival is measured as time from date of randomization to death regardless of cause.
- Objective response [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Objective response is assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria version 1.1 as complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease.
