  1. description
    PFS: time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST version \[v\] 1.1) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first as assessed by BICR. PFS data was censored on date of last adequate tumor assessment for participants who did not have an event (PD or death), who started new anti-cancer therapy prior to an event or for participants with an event after 2 or more missing tumor assessments. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%), increase in the sum of all the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to relative increase of 20 %, sum must have also demonstrated an absolute more than (\>) of at least 5 millimeter (mm). The appearance of one or more new lesions was also considered progression.
