- Progression Free Survival (PFS) in the Heregulin (HRG)-High Expression Population [ Time Frame: from Day 0 to end of active study (study termination) - within 12 months ]
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first radiographic disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.
Median PFS is from Kaplan-Meier analysis. Confidence interval (CI) for median was computed using Brookmeyer-Crowley method.
- Median Overall Survival [ Time Frame: at approximately 25 months ]Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of randomization to death due to any cause
- Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Response [ Time Frame: at approximately 22 months ]Best overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)
