Endpoints
Hematologic DLTs were defined as Grade 4 neutropenia lasting for ≥7 days, Grade 3 or Grade 4 febrile neutropenia, Grade 3 thrombocytopenia with bleeding, Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, or Grade 4 anemia. Other nonhematologic toxicities considered a DLT included any other Grade 4 or Grade 5 toxicity, Grade 3 toxicities lasting >3 days (excluding nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea controlled by medical intervention within 72 hours, and Grade 3 rash in the absence of desquamation with no mucosal involvement), Grade 3 hypertension not able to be controlled by medication, ≥Grade 3 gastrointestinal perforation, ≥Grade 3 wound dehiscence requiring medical or surgical intervention, or any grade thromboembolic event. The number of participants in Part 1 with DLTs will be reported by treatment arm.
Part 1: Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to ~25 months ]
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants in Part 1 with AEs will be reported by treatment arm.
Part 1: Number of Participants who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE [ Time Frame: Up to ~22 months ]
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of participants in Part 1 that discontinued study due to an AE will be reported by treatment arm.
Part 2: Overall Survival (OS) in Participants with Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1 [ Time Frame: Up to ~38 months ]
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS will be reported by treatment arm for PD-L1 CPS ≥1 participants in Part 2.
Part 2: OS in All Participants [ Time Frame: Up to ~38 months ]
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause. OS will be reported by treatment arm for all participants in Part 2.
Part 2: Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) in Participants with PD-L1 CPS ≥1 [ Time Frame: Up to ~28 months ]
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) per RECIST 1.1 by BICR or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS will be reported by treatment arm for PD-L1 CPS ≥1 participants in Part 2.
Part 2: PFS Per RECIST 1.1 as Assessed by BICR in All Participants [ Time Frame: Up to ~28 months ]
PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 by BICR or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1 modified to follow a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ, PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. PFS will be reported by treatment arm for all participants in Part 2.
