- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Radiographic evaluation starting from the third day of study treatment and on average every 6 weeks until documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, until patient is registered as off study. ]
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Monthly after patient is registered off study up to 36 months or until date of death from any cause, whichever came first. ]Continuously from date of randomization until date of death from any cause or until patient is registered as off study, whichever came first.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Radiographic evaluation starting from the third day of study treatment and on average every 6 weeks until documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, until patient is registered as off study. ]
- Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN) [ Time Frame: From date of screening, first day of study treatment and then every cycle (about every 3 weeks) until date of death from any cause or patient is registered as off study, whichever came first. ]
