- Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]OS is defined as the time from randomization to the date of death due to any reason.
- Progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression as determined by the investigator based on RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
- Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]defined as the proportion of participants with partial response or complete response as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1
- Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of the first occurrence of disease progression, as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first
- Disease control rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]defined as the proportion of participants whose best overall response (BOR) is complete response, partial response or stable disease as determined by the IRC based on RECIST v1.1
- Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed according to the European Organization and Treatment of Cancer lung cancer module, QLQ-LC13 [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]A score of 1-4 will be administrated for each item in QLQ-LC13. The higher scores will indicate the worse outcomes.
- Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed according to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core cancer (QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]The EORTC QLQ-C30 is completed by the participant. The EORTC QLQ-30 contains 30 questions that incorporate 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 global health status scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). The participant answers questions about their health during the past week. There are 28 questions answered on a 4-point scale where 1 =Not at all (best) to 4 =Very Much (worst) and 2 questions answered on a 7-point scale where 1 =Very poor (worst) to 7 =Excellent (best).
- Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) as assessed according to the European Quality of Life 5-Dimension 5-Level (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]Participant-reported outcomes based on EuroQoL-Five Dimensions, Five Levels (EQ-5D-5L) for all cohorts The EQ-5D- is a generic, self-reported measure of utility that consists of a five-item descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system has two versions, namely the 3L and 5L, both involving five health dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression). In the EQ-5D-5L that will be used, participants may choose from the following five response levels: no problems=1; slight problems=2; moderate problems=3; severe problems=4; and unable to/extreme problems=5. Higher values indicate worst health.
- Number of participants experiencing treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5.0 [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]
- Plasma concentration of sitravatinib [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 35 months, approximately ]
