- Objective Response Rate by Blinded Independent Central Review Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Tumors [ Time Frame: 9 months after the last participant is randomized or later, up to approximately 31 months ]Confirmed objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), will be assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Objective Response Rate by Investigator Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Tumors [ Time Frame: 9 months after the last participant is randomized or later, up to approximately 31 months ]Confirmed objective response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), will be assessed by the Investigator based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Duration of Response Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer [ Time Frame: 9 months after the last participant is randomized or later, up to approximately 31 months ]Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time from the initial response (complete response [CR] or partial response [PR]) until documented tumor progression or death from any cause. DoR is only defined for participants who achieved confirmed CR or PR. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions and PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Disease Control Rate Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer [ Time Frame: 9 months after the last participant is randomized or later, up to approximately 31 months ]Disease control rate (DCR) is the sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD) rates. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions, PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and stable disease (SD) was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease (PD; at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions.
- Progression-free Survival Following Intravenous Administration of Trastuzumab Deruxtecan in Participants With Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer [ Time Frame: 9 months after the last participant is randomized or later, up to approximately 31 months ]Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from date of randomization until first objective radiographic tumor progression or death from any cause, based on blinded independent central review (BICR) and investigator assessment.

- Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire for Lung Cancer Trials (QLQ-LC13) Scores [ Time Frame: On Day 1 of every cycle (each cycle is 21 days), and at end of treatment visit 40-day follow-up visit ]
The EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 questions assessing global health-related quality of life, five aspects of subject functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and six single-items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100. Higher scores for functioning scales and global health status indicate a better level of functioning while higher scores on the symptom and single-item scales indicate a higher level of symptoms. The QLQ-LC13 is a 13-item questionnaire designed to assess lung cancer-related symptoms and treatment side effects. The scales ranges from 1=not at all to 4=very much. The summation of scores range from 0 to 100, where higher scores represent increasing symptoms levels.
