- Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death
- timeFrame
- 12, 24, and 34 months
- description
- PFS from randomization was measured from the date of randomization to the date of documented disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause. PFS function was estimated using Kaplan-Meier product-limit method. Responding participants and participants who were lost to follow up were censored at their last assessment date.
