Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Progression free survival [ Time Frame: The primary analysis of Progression-free survival (PFS) based on investigator assessment will occur when PFS maturity is observed at approximately 30 months after the first patient is randomized. ]
   Progression-free survival (PFS) using Investigator assessment as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. OS rate at 18 months [ Time Frame: The OS rate at 18 months will be defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of OS at 18 months. ]
   Proportion of patients alive at 18 months
2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Objective Response Rate analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   ORR (per RECIST 1.1 using Investigator assessments) is defined as the number (percent) of patients with at least 1 visit response of CR or PR.
3. Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: Disease control rate analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the percentage of subjects who have a best overall response of CR or PR or SD by RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator.
4. Duration of Response (DoR) [ Time Frame: Duration of Response analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   DoR is defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
5. Depth of Response [ Time Frame: Depth of Response analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   Depth of response by Investigator is defined as the relative change in the sum of the longest diameters of RECIST target lesions at the nadir in the absence of NLs or progression of NTLs when compared to baseline.
6. Safety and tolerability: Adverse event [ Time Frame: Safety and tolerability analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   All Adverse events/≥grade 3 AE/SAE incidence rate (AE/SAE graded by CTCAE v5); All ADR incidence rate; AESI: ILD/pneumonitis-like event, Cardiac failure
7. Molecular resistance mechanism [ Time Frame: Molecular resistance mechanism analysis will occur when Progression-free survival (PFS) maturity is observed at approximately 30 months from the first patient being randomized. ]
   To evaluate potential molecular resistance mechanism by biomarker analysis of plasma at baseline and disease progression and tissue samples (if applicable) by next-generation sequencing (NGS).
