- Objective Response Rate(ORR) [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks upto 18 months from randomization date ]ORR is defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (v.1.1) criteria
- Progression free survival(PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date ]PFS is defined as the time from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or death.
- Overall survival(OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 36 months from FPI ]OS is defined as the time from the date of inclusion to the date of death.
- Time to treatment failure(TTF) [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date ]TTF is defined as the time from the randomization date to the date of discontinuation of treatment, regardless of the cause.
- Duration of response(DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date ]DOR is the time between the initial response to therapy and subsequent disease progression or relapse.
- Disease control rate(DCR) [ Time Frame: Up to 18 months from randomization date ]DCR is defined as the percentage of subjects who were evaluated for complete response(CR), partial response(PR), and stable disease(SD) as the best response among from randomization.
- Quality of life(QoL) [ Time Frame: after randomization(C1D1), D1 of every 3rd cycle(each cycle consists of 28 days) up to 18 months ]Evaluate changes compared to baseline using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
- AUC [ Time Frame: on Day 1 of Cycle 1(each cycle consists of 28days) at predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 10 hrs post dose (before the 2nd dose on Day 1) and on Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose (before the 1st dose on Day 8) ]Area under the plasma concentration-time curve
- Cmax [ Time Frame: on Day 1 of Cycle 1(each cycle consists of 28days) at predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 10 hrs post dose (before the 2nd dose on Day 1) and on Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose (before the 1st dose on Day 8) ]Maximum concentration
- Tmax [ Time Frame: on Day 1 of Cycle 1(each cycle consists of 28days) at predose, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 10 hrs post dose (before the 2nd dose on Day 1) and on Day 8 of Cycle 1 at predose (before the 1st dose on Day 8) ]Time to reach observed maximum concentration
