- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of deaths from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 30 months (based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018). ]OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. OS time was summarized by treatment arm using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From randomization to date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause whichever was first (up to 30 months); based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of progression of disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS time was summarized by treatment arm using the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS based on BICR assessment was evaluated for this endpoint.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) Based on BICR Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by BICR were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression (approximately up to 30 months); based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Percentage of participants achieved objective response (OR) based on BICR assessment is presented for this endpoint. OR is defined as a complete response (CR, disappearance of all target lesions) or partial response (PR, >=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions) according to the RECIST (version 1.1) recorded from randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause. Both CR and PR must be confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met and before the first documentation of disease progression. Only tumor assessments performed on or before the start date of any further anti-cancer therapies are considered in the assessment of best overall response.
- ORR Based on Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by investigator were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression, up to 30 months; based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Percentage of participants achieved OR based on investigator assessment is presented for this endpoint. OR is defined as a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (>=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions) according to the RECIST (version 1.1) recorded from randomization until disease progression or death due to any cause. The ORR on each randomized treatment arm were estimated by dividing the number of participants with OR (CR or PR) by number of participants randomized to the respective treatment arm.
- PFS Based on Investigator Assessment According to RECIST Version 1.1 [ Time Frame: From randomization to date of first documentation of PD or death due to any cause whichever was first (up to 30 months); based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PFS time was summarized by treatment arm using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Duration of Response (DR) Based on BICR Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by investigator were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression, up to 30 months; based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]DR is defined, for participants with an OR per RECIST version 1.1, as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR [disappearance of all target lesions] or PR [>=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions]) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- DR Based on Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by investigator were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression, up to 30 months; based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]DR is defined, for participants with an OR per RECIST version 1.1, as the time from the first documentation of objective tumor response (CR [disappearance of all target lesions] or PR [>=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions]) to the first documentation of objective tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Disease Control (DC) Rate Based on BICR Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by investigator were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression, up to 30 months; based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Percentage of participants achieving DC based on BICR assessment is presented in this endpoint. DC is a best overall response of CR (disappearance of all target lesions), PR (>=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions), non-complete response/non-progressive disease or stable disease (SD) according to the RECIST version 1.1.
- DC Rate Based on Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: Tumor assessments as assessed by investigator were conducted at every 8 weeks from screening until documented disease progression, up to 30 months; based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Percentage of participants achieving DC based on investigator assessment is presented in this endpoint. DC is a best overall response of CR (disappearance of all target lesions), PR (>=30% decrease under the baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions), non-complete response/non-progressive disease or SD according to the RECIST version 1.1.
- Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1 to 90 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to 2.7 years by primary completion date of 19 September 2018). ]An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation patient administered a product or medical device; the event need not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment or usage. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect; progression of the malignancy under study. Treatment emergent AEs are those events with onset dates occurring during the on-treatment period for the first time, or if the worsening of an event is during the on-treatment period.
- Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit, up to 2.7 years, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]The number of participants with following laboratory abnormalities meeting any of the Grades 1 to 4 classified according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) toxicity grading version 4.03 were summarized: hematology (anemia, lymphocyte count decreased, neutrophil count decreased; and platelet count decreased) and chemistry laboratory tests (creatinine increased; serum amylase increased and lipase increased).
- Change From Baseline in Vital Signs - Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit, up to 2.7 years, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Vital signs included blood pressure and pulse rate.

- Change From Baseline in Vital Signs - Pulse Rate [ Time Frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit, up to 2.7 years, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Vital signs included blood pressure and pulse rate. Changes from baseline in sitting pulse rate were summarized.
- Number of Participants With Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities [ Time Frame: From screening to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit, up to 2.7 years, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]Categorical summarization ECG criteria were as follows: 1) QT interval, QTcB, QTcF and QTcP: increase from baseline >30 ms or 60 ms; absolute value > 450 ms, >480 ms and > 500 ms; 2) heart rate (HR): change from baseline >=20 bpm and absolute value <=50 bpm or >=120 bpm; 3) PR interval: absolute value >=220 ms and increase from baseline >=20 ms; 4) QRS: >= 120 ms.
- Number of Participants With % Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) Decrease From Baseline [ Time Frame: Screening, Cycle 3 Day 1 (repeated every 2 cycles) to the end of treatment/withdrawal visit, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]LVEF decrease was summarized by multiple-gated acquisition (MUGA)/ echocardiogram (ECHO) parameter. Participants with a LVEF% >=10 points and >= 15 points decrease from baseline during the on-treatment period were summarized.
- Number of Participants With PD-L1 Expression for PFS (Based on BICR Assessment) and for OS [ Time Frame: Biomarkers are measured only at screening. ]PD-L1 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry.

Higher scores are reflective of a greater presence of symptoms.
- Time to Deterioration in Abdominal/GI Symptom Subscale of EORTC QLQ-OV28 [ Time Frame: From Day 1 of Cycle 1 to prior to end of treatment/withdrawal visit, based on cutoff date: 19 September 2018. ]The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Ovarian Cancer 28 (EORTC QLQ-OV28) is a 28 item instrument with 7 functional domain subscales. Time to deterioration was defined as the time from randomization to the first time the participant's score showed a 15-point or higher increase in the score of the abdominal/GI symptom subscale of the EORTC QLQ-OV28.
- Change From Baseline in EQ-VAS Score at End of Treatment [ Time Frame: Baseline and end of treatment/withdrawal visit ]The EuroQol- 5 Dimensions- 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L) questionnaire consists of the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (the EuroQol-visual analogue scale [EQ-VAS]). The respondent's self-rated health is assessed on a scale from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state) by the EQ-VAS.
