    EQ-5D Visual Analogic Scale:patients rated their overall health status from 0 (worst imaginable heath state) to 100 (best imaginable heath state).

  21. Time to treatment discontinuation/failure due to toxicity (TTF) [ Time Frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1, every 6 weeks up to the End of Treatment ]
    TTF is defined as the time from Cycle 1 Day 1 to the date of the first documentation of discontinuation due to an adverse event or death due to study treatment toxicity

  22. Treatment discontinuation/failure due to toxicity [ Time Frame: From Cycle 1 Day 1, every 6 weeks up to the End of Treatment ]
    Treatment discontinuation is the percentage of patients who discontinue the treatment due to an adverse event or death due to study treatment toxicity

  23. PFS on next-line therapy (PFS2) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to 8 years. ]
    PFS2 is defined as the time from randomization to discontinuation of next line treatment, second objective disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
