- Phase 1: Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: up to 17.4 months ]An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurred after a participant provided informed consent. Abnormal laboratory values or test results that occurred after informed consent constituted AEs only if they induced clinical signs or symptoms, were considered clinically meaningful, required therapy (e.g., hematologic abnormality that required transfusion), or required changes in the study drug(s). A TEAE was defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug.
- Phase 1: Number of Participants With a Grade 3 or Higher TEAE [ Time Frame: up to 17.4 months ]An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related, that occurred after a participant provided informed consent. A TEAE was defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of study drug. The severity of AEs was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03. Grade 1: mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated. Grade 2: moderate; minimal, local, or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting age-appropriate activities of daily living. Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living. Grade 4: life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: death due to AE.
- Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1), as determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments, recorded before and including the first event of progressive disease (PD). CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 millimeters (mm). PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions.
- Phase 1: ORR [ Time Frame: up to 15.6 months ]ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed best overall response of CR or PR, per RECIST v1.1, as determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments, recorded before and including the first event of PD. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions.
- Phase 1: Duration of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: up to 11.0 months ]DOR was defined as the time from the first overall response contributing to a confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to the earlier of the participant's death from any cause or first assessment of PD, determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.
- Phase 2: DOR [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]DOR was defined as the time from the first overall response contributing to a confirmed objective response (CR or PR) to the earlier of the participant's death from any cause or first assessment of PD, determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.
- Phase 1: Disease Control Rate (DCR) [ Time Frame: up to 15.6 months ]DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with a CR, PR, or stable disease (SD), determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. SD: no change in target lesions to qualify for CR, PR, or PD.
- Phase 2: DCR [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with a CR, PR, or SD, determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. SD: no change in target lesions to qualify for CR, PR, or PD.
- Phase 1: Duration of Disease Control [ Time Frame: up to 15.4 months ]Duration of disease control (CR, PR, and SD) was measured from the first report of SD or better until PD or death from any cause, if occurring sooner than progression, determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. SD: no change in target lesions to qualify for CR, PR, or PD. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.
- Phase 2: Duration of Disease Control [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]Duration of disease control (CR, PR, and SD) was measured from the first report of SD or better until PD or death from any cause, if occurring sooner than progression, determined by investigator assessment of radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. SD: no change in target lesions to qualify for CR, PR, or PD. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.
- Phase 1: Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: up to 15.6 months ]PFS was defined as the length of time between the Baseline visit (Day 1) and the earlier of death or the first assessment of PD, as determined by investigator assessment of objective radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1.
- Phase 2: PFS [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]PFS was defined as the length of time between the Baseline visit (Day 1) and the earlier of death or the first assessment of PD, as determined by investigator assessment of objective radiographic disease assessments per RECIST v1.1.
