E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival: defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of the first documentation of disease progression, as determined by blinded BICR of objective radiographic disease progression per RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause(whichever occurs first).
