[1] The ECOG score assesses how the disease affects a participant's daily living abilities. It ranges from 0-5, with 0 being the best and 5 being the worst outcome. "0" reflects a fully active participant, able to carry on all pre-disease performance without restriction. "1" reflects a participant restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature. "2" reflects an ambulatory participant, who is up and about more than 50% of waking hours, and capable of all self-care but unable to carry out any work activities.
[2] Number of participants randomized in the prior bevacizumab stratum as per the interactive voice response system (IVRS).
