Maximum Tolerated Dose in Phase I Primary · 4 weeks

The MTD was defined as the highest dose studied for which the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) was 0/3 or less than 2/6 patients during the first treatment course.

Time to Progression (TTP) in Phase II Primary · From randomization until data cut-off (15 July 2014); Up to 1031 days

TTP according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) 1.0 criteria based on central independent review. TTP RECIST 1.0 was defined as the time from randomisation to disease progression according to RECIST 1.0.

Objective Tumour Response by RECIST Secondary · From randomization until data cut-off (15 July 2014); Up to 1031 days

Objective RECIST 1.0 tumour response was defined as Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) and was derived from the patient's best objective RECIST 1.0 response based on central independent review. 95% Confidence Interval presented below are computed by Clopper and Pearson method.

Progression Free Survival (PFS) Secondary · From randomization until data cut-off (15 July 2014); Up to 1031 days

PFS by RECIST 1.0 was defined as the duration from date of randomisation to date of progression or death, whichever occurred earlier, based on central independent review.
