- Objective response as assessed by independent review committee [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 months ]Objective response will be determined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 and as adjudicated by an Independent review committee. Objective response is defined as either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from first administration of trial treatment to first observation of progressive disease (PD). CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Objective response assessed as per Investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 months ]Objective response will be determined according to RECIST 1.1 and as per investigator's discretion. Objective response is defined as either a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from first administration of trial treatment to first observation of progressive disease (PD) .CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Duration of response as assessed by independent review committee [ Time Frame: Baseline until PD/ death within 84 days of last tumor assessment; assessed up to 20 months ]Duration of response according to RECIST 1.1 and as adjudicated by an Independent review committee is the time from when the CR/PR (whichever is first) criteria are first met until progression of disease (PD) or death due to any cause within 84 days of the last tumor assessment, whichever occurs first. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Duration of response as assessed by investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline until PD/ death within 84 days of last tumor assessment; assessed up to 20 months ]Duration of response according to RECIST 1.1 and as per investigator's discretion is the time from when the CR/PR (whichever is first) criteria are first met until progression of disease (PD) or death due to any cause within 84 days of the last tumor assessment, whichever occurs first. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Objective disease control as assessed by independent review committee [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 months ]Objective disease control will be determined according to RECIST 1.1 and as adjudicated by an Independent review committee. Objective disease control is defined as either a confirmed CR or PR, or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 12 weeks (84 days) as assessed by independent review committee. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. Stable disease (SD)=Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. PD is defined as at least a 20 % increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Objective disease control as assessed by investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 months ]Objective disease control will be determined according to RECIST 1.1 and as per investigator's discretion. Objective disease control is defined as either a confirmed CR or PR, or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 12 weeks (84 days) as assessed by investigator. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. Stable disease (SD)=Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Progression free survival as assessed by independent review committee [ Time Frame: Baseline until PD or death within 84 days of last tumor assessment; assessed up to 20 months ]Progression free survival as assessed by independent review committee is defined as the time (in months) from the first administration of trial treatment to the date of the first documentation of PD (based on independent review) or death due to any cause within 84 days of the last tumor assessment, whichever occurs first. PD is defined as at least a 20 % increase in the sum of longest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Progression free survival as assessed by investigator [ Time Frame: Baseline until PD or death within 84 days of last tumor assessment; assessed up to 20 months ]Progression free survival as assessed by investigator is defined as the time (in months) from the first administration of trial treatment to the date of the first documentation of PD (as assessed by investigator) or death due to any cause within 84 days of the last tumor assessment, whichever occurs first. PD is defined as at least a 20 % increase in the sum of longest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Baseline until death, assessed up to 20 months ]Overall survival is defined as the time (in months) from first trial treatment administration to the date of death.
- Occurrence of Treatment emergent adverse event (TEAEs) and deaths [ Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug administration until 33 days after the last dose of study drug administration, assessed up to 20 Months ]This outcome measure will be presented as the percentage of subjects with any (serious) adverse event (AE). Percentages are calculated using total number of subjects per treatment cohort as the denominator.
- Percentage of subjects with of markedly abnormal clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) [ Time Frame: Baseline up to 20 months ]This outcome measure will be presented as the percentage of subjects with markedly abnormal vital sign measurements. Percentages are calculated using total number of subjects per treatment cohort as the denominator. Abnormalities in clinical laboratory tests will be measured as hematology and coagulation, biochemistry and urinalysis. Abnormalities in Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, body temperature as a part of vital signs; electrocardiogram (ECG) wave, body weight, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status (PS), and clinical laboratory tests (hematology and coagulation, biochemistry and urinalysis) will be assessed.
