primary Outcomes
  1. description
    Progression-free survival (PFS) by BICR was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earlier of the dates of the first objective documentation of disease progression (as per RECIST v1.1) or death due to any cause.

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in Participants With HER2-positive, Unresectable and/or Metastatic Breast Cancer Participants Previously Treated With Trastuzumab Emtansine
    time Frame
    Baseline up to 46 months postdose
secondary Outcomes
  1. description
    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. If there is no death reported for a subject before the data cutoff for OS analysis, OS will be censored at the last contact date at which the subject is known to be alive.

    Overall Survival (OS) in Participants With HER2-positive, Unresectable and/or Metastatic Breast Cancer Participants Previously Treated With Trastuzumab Emtansine
    time Frame

  2. description
    The Objective Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), assessed by BICR and investigator assessment based on RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Confirmed ORR based on BICR and Investigator Assessment is reported.

  3. description
    Duration of Response (DoR) was defined as the time from the date of the first documentation of objective response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) to the date of the first objective documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause. DoR in participants with confirmed CR/PR based on BICR and investigator assessment is reported.
