- Overall Survival (OS) in Participants Who Received at Least One Dose of Blinded Study Therapy [ Time Frame: Randomization until date of death, up to March 2015, approximately 38 months ]Overall Survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.
- Overall Survival in All Randomized Participants [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of death, up to March 2015, approximately 38 months ]Overall Survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death from any cause. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time in Participants Who Have Received at Least One Dose of Blinded Study Therapy [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression, up to March 2015, approximately 38 months ]Progression-Free Survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of progression per modified World Health Organization (mWHO) criteria or death, whichever occured first. A participant who died without reported progression per mWHO criteria was considered progressed on the date of death. For those participants who remained alive and did not progress, PFS was censored on the date of last evaluable tumor assessment. For those participants who remained alive and had no recorded post-baseline tumor assessment, PFS was censored on the day of randomization.
