- Overall survival (OS) in the Intent to Treat (ITT) set [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]
- Overall response rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 in ITT [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]the proportion of participants who had Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 in the ITT Analysis Set
- Duration of response (DOR) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to documented Progressive Disease (PD), or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 in the ITT Analysis Set
- Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]the time from randomization to the first objectively documented PD, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 in the ITT Analysis Set
- Overall survival rate at 1 and 2 years for each treatment arm [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]the proportion of OS participants at 1 year and 2 years from randomization in the ITT Analysis Set
- Change from baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life-Core 30(EORTC QLQC30) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]1) to assess overall health status/Quality of Life with 2 questions which are with range from minimum score 1 as worse outcome and maximum score 7 as higher values represent a better 2) to assess quality of life with 28 questions about Physical functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning etc. which are with range from minimum scores 1 representing as better to maximum scores 4 as worse outcome.
- Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5years, approximately ]Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE)v5.0
- Change from baseline in European Quality of Life 5-Dimension, 5-Level version (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: From first randomization up to 3.5 years, approximately ]to assess health status with 1) 5 questions about Mobility, Self-Care, Usual activities, Pain/Discomfort, Anxiety/Depression which are with 5 options. 2) one question about health status at the day of completing the questionnaire with range from minimum score 0 as worse outcome to maximum scores 100 as higher values represent as better.
