Progression-free Survival (PFS)Primary· From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or death up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months)
PFS is defined as the number of months from the date of randomization to the earlier of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause.

Objective Response Rate (ORR)Secondary· From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or intolerable Adverse Event (AE) up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months)
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with response during treatment classified as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by the investigator based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), version 1.0. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)Secondary· From date of randomization to discontinuation due to disease progression or intolerable AE up to primary completion date (Median follow-up 6 months)
CBR is defined as the percentage of participants with overall response (CR + PR) plus stable disease (SD) for 6 months as assessed by the investigator based on RECIST, version 1.0. CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. PR is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. SD is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment started.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Secondary· First dose to within 30 days of last dose of study drug (Up to Approximately 2 Years)
An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation patient administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. Worsening of a pre-existing medical condition was considered an AE if there was either an increase in severity, frequency, or duration of the condition or an association with significantly worse outcomes. Abnormal clinical laboratory findings determined by the investigator to be clinically significant were recorded as AEs. A TEAE is an AE that starts after the administration of stud
