The primary analysis study period will be considered completed when approximately 288 centrally-reviewed PFS events have been observed for the randomized population (220 PFS events in the subset of patients with brain metastases at baseline). This study will continue to collect relevant clinical and survival follow-up data (which will be analyzed and reported as addenda to the CSR) at the time when approximately 361 deaths have been recorded. |
