Hide Outcome Measure 2

Measure Type	Secondary
Measure Title	Progression-free Survival Within Individual Standard Chemotherapy Cohorts (Taxanes, Gemcitabine, Capecitabine, and Vinorelbine)
Measure Description	Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to first documented disease progression as determined by the investigator using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Results are reported for each of the 4 standard chemotherapy cohorts used in the study.
Time Frame	Baseline to data cut-off for analysis of the primary Outcome Measure (up to 3 years, 2 months)

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Intent-to-treat population: All randomized patients, regardless of whether they received any study drug or completed the full course of treatment.
