Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life 5-dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) Health Outcome Questionnaire Through Composite Index Score at End of Treatment (EOT)
The EQ-5D-5L health outcome questionnaire was a measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L defined health in terms of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The 5 items were combined to generate health profiles. These profiles were converted to a continuous single index score. The lowest possible score was -0.59 (unable to walk, unable to self-care, unable to do usual activities, extreme pain or discomfort, extreme anxiety or depression) and the highest was 1.00 (no problems in all 5 dimensions).
Time frame: Baseline, End of treatment visit (up to Week 124)
Change From Baseline in European Quality of Life 5-dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) Health Outcome Questionnaire Through Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at End of Treatment (EOT)
EQ-5D-5L was comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses were used to derive overall score using a visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 to 100 millimeter (mm), where 0 was the worst health you can imagine and 100 was the best health you can imagine.
Time frame: Baseline, End of treatment visit (up to Week 124)
Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status at End of Treatment (EOT)
EORTC QLQ-C30 was a 30-question tool used to assess the overall quality of life (QoL) in cancer participants. It consisted of 15 domains: 1 global health status (GHS) scale, 5 functional scales (Physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), and 9 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial impact). The EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL score ranged from 0 to 100; High score indicated better GHS/QoL. Score 0 represents: very poor physical condition and QoL. Score 100 represents: excellent overall physical condition and QoL.
Time frame: Baseline, End of treatment visit (up to Week 124)
Change From Baseline in European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Lung Cancer 13 (EORTC QLQ-LC13) at End of Treatment (EOT)

The EORTC QLQ-LC13 module generated one multiple-item score assessing dyspnea and a series of single item scores assessing coughing, hemoptysis, sore mouth, dysphagia, neuropathy, alopecia, pain in chest, pain in arms or shoulder and pain in other parts. Score range: 0 (no burden of symptom domain or single symptom item) to 100 (highest burden of symptoms for symptom domains and single items).
Time frame: Baseline, End of treatment visit (up to Week 124)

An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including clinically significant abnormal laboratory, vital signs and 12-lead Electrocardiogram findings), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent events were the events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state up to 30 days after last administration. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.
