4. Secondary Outcome

Title	Immune-related Progression-free Survival (irPFS) by IRRC in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Description	irPFS is defined as the number of months from the date of randomization to disease progression (PD or relapse from CR as assessed using irRC RECIST 1.1 criteria) or death due to any cause. Per irRC criteria, CR = disappearance of all target lesions, Partial Response (PR) is =>30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline, Progressive Disease (PD) is >20% increase in tumor burden compared with nadir, Stable Disease (SD) is <30% decrease in tumor burden compared with baseline or <20% increase in tumor burden compared to nadir.

Title	Time to Progression (TTP) by RECIST 1.1 in Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer Patients
Description	Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from randomization to the date of documented disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Individuals are censored at the date of the last radiological assessment that occurs prior to any of the following: death, switch to another anti-cancer therapy, or end of follow-up. Individuals without follow-up or baseline measurements are censored at 1 day.
