- timeFrame
- Every 8 weeks, up to 12 months after the last participant was randomized or until the target number of events (deaths) was met, whichever was later. (Overall survival data was collected till 24 Jan 2014 which was date of observation of the 571st death)
- description
- Overall survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death for participants. If a participant discontinued study medication for reasons other than radiologic disease progression, the participant was followed for tumor response until radiologic disease progression or initiation of new anticancer therapy.
