Overall Survival
Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. Participants were censored at the date they were last known to be alive.
Time frame: Baseline to date of death from any cause (up to 37.06 months)
Percentage of Participants With a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) (Overall Response Rate)
Overall Response Rate (ORR) is the number of participants with a Complete Response (CR) and Partial Response (PR) divided by the total number of randomized participants per arm, then multiplied by 100. Response is based on the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.0) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline or the complete disappearance of target lesions, with persistence of 1 or more nontarget lesion(s) and no new lesions.

Change From Baseline in Participant Reported Outcomes as Assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General (FACT-G)
The FACT-G is a validated instrument used to measure quality of life (QOL) in participants with cancer consisting of the 27-item questionnaire and is organized into subscales, each designed to assess a QOL domain: physical well-being (PWB)-7 items; social/family well-being (SWB)-7 items; emotional well-being (EWB)-6 items; functional well-being (FWB)-7 items. Each item uses a 5 point rating scale (0="not at all" and 4=equals "very much"). FACT-G Total is the sum of the scores of all 4 subscales and ranges from 0 to 108. Higher scores indicate better QOL. Least squares mean (LSmean) change is calculated using the linear-mixed model (LMM) analysis controlled for treatment, baseline value, time point and treatment by time point interaction.

| Translational Research: Overall Survival (OS) Based on Nuclear Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1) Expression Regardless of Study Treatment | 14.9 (12.8 to 17.6) | 8.7 (6.4 to 10.5) |
Cytoplasmic and nuclear Thymidylate Synthase (TS) expression was measured using an Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay which were scored using a 0 (negative, no staining) to 3+ (brightest staining) scoring system for cytoplasmic and nuclear staining, and H score was calculated using formula: 1x(percentage of cells stained 1+) + 2x(percentage of cells stained 2+) + 3x(percentage of cells stained 3+). TS Positive have an H score \>0 and TS Negative have an H score=0. Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. Participants were censored at the date they were last known to be alive.

Cytoplasmic and membrane Folate Receptor Alpha (FR-α) expression was measured using an Immunohistochemistry (IHC) assay which were scored using a 0 (negative, no staining) to 3+ (brightest staining) scoring system for cytoplasmic or membrane staining, and H score is a calculated using formula: 1x(percentage of cells stained 1+) + 2x(percentage of cells stained 2+) + 3x(percentage of cells stained 3+). FR-α Positive have an H score \>0 and FR-α Negative have an H score=0. Overall survival (OS) is the duration from date of randomization to date of death from any cause. Participants were censored at the date they were last known to be alive.

| FR-α Membrane Positive (H score > 0; n=39, 22) | 19.2 (10.5 to 30.8) | 15.5 (11.2 to NA) |
