Neuropathy AEs were graded according to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 3.0 and coded according to the current version of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Neuropathy AEs included the broad list of preferred terms (PTs) defined in the Standard MedDRA Query for Neuropathy and the following additional PTs: neuropathy, hyperesthesia, painful response to normal stimuli, pallanesthesia, and allodynia. If the post-baseline maximum CTCAE grade of the combined term "neuropathy" was greater than the baseline maximum CTCAE grade of the combined term, then the event was considered as treatment emergent neuropathy adverse events per CTCAE grade. For a single participant, 1) a neuropathy AE occurring more than once during the study, whether defined with the same or different MedDRA PTs, was counted only once, 2) a neuropathy AE with different CTCAE grades had only the highest grade AE counted.

SAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had at least one safety assessment following the first dose of study medication.

The incidence rate of TE myalgia/arthralgia was calculated as the percent of participants with TE myalgia/arthralgia. A participant who had an arthralgia or myalgia AE more than once over the course of the study was counted only once in the incidence calculation for myalgia/arthralgia AEs. A participant who had myalgia/arthralgia AEs with different CTCAE grades was counted with the highest CTCAE grade over the course of the evaluation period. If the post-baseline CTCAE grade of the combined term "Myalgia/Arthralgia" was greater than the baseline maximum CTCAE grade of the combined term, the participant had TE myalgia/arthralgia. The 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) for incidence rate of TE myalgia/arthralgia was calculated using the Clopper-Pearson method (i.e., the exact method) for each treatment group.

SAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had at least one safety assessment following the first dose of study medication.

The participant-reported questionnaire was used to compare the incidence and severity of neuropathy AEs. Sensory and motor scores were to be analyzed separately using a generalized linear model. Separate subgroup analyses were performed by each stratification variable. VPAT was measured using a Vibratron II device (Physitemp, Inc.) and a modified Two Alternative Forced Choice psychophysical algorithm. VPT was assessed on the ventral surface of the distal index finger (side opposite the nail), contralateral to the side of the mastectomy or primary disease and on the distal fleshy pad of both the right and left great toes (side opposite the nail). If the mastectomy was bilateral, the index finger on the side without axillary lymph node dissection was tested. Data ranged from 0 (invalid) to 20 vu. A lower VPT indicated a greater sensitivity.

SAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had at least one safety assessment following the first dose of study medication. Here "number analyzed" signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure at given time points.

The PNQ consisted of 3 parts; Item 1 (sensory) measured numbness, pain, burning or tingling in hands or feet, Item 2 (motor) measured weakness in arms or legs, and Item 3 (activities) measured activities that interfered with daily life. The participant was told that there was no right or wrong answer and their answer should reflect how they currently felt since last completing the PNQ. Sensory scores were analyzed separately. Letter scores (A= none, B=mild, C=moderate, D=moderate to severe, and E=severe) for PNQ were converted to numeric scores A (none)=0, B (mild)=1, C (moderate)=2, D (moderate to severe)=3 and E (severe)=4). Total scores ranged from 0 (minimum severity) to 10 (maximum severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity. Neuropathy AEs that were sensory were evaluated with the PNQ Item 1 (sensory). Categories where no participant showed any shift from baseline to post-baseline for both the arms were not included in the presentation.

SAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had at least one safety assessment following the first dose of study medication. Here "overall number of participants analyzed" signifies participants who were evaluable for this outcome measure.

The PNQ consisted of 3 parts; Item 1 (sensory) measured numbness, pain, burning or tingling in hands or feet, Item 2 (motor) measured weakness in arms or legs, and Item 3 (activities) measured activities that interfered with daily life. Sensory scores, motor scores and composite scores were analyzed separately. For both item 1 and item 2, letter scores (A=none, B=mild, C=moderate, D=moderate to severe, and E=severe) for PNQ were converted to numeric scores A(none)=0, B(mild)=1, C(moderate)=2, D(moderate to severe)=3 and E (severe)=4. Total scores ranged from 0 (minimum severity) to 10 (maximum severity). Higher scores indicated greater severity. PNQ composite score was defined as the worst of Item 1 and Item 2 score. If neither Item 1 or item 2 score was D or E, but if a box was checked in Item 3, PNQ composite score would be D. Categories where no participant showed any shift from baseline to post-baseline for both the arms were not included in the presentation.

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v.1.0 for target lesions assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography and investigator assessment. Participants with unknown or missing responses were treated as non-responders. CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. PR was defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of the longest diameter. ORR=CR+PR, was presented with 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) by the method of Clopper-Pearson method for calculating the exact binomial intervals.

Full analysis set (FAS) included all randomized participants.

PFS was defined as the time from randomization until PD or death due to any cause as determined by the investigator. Disease progression per RECIST v1.0 was defined as at least a 20% relative increase and 5 millimeter absolute increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (taking as reference the smallest sum on study) recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. The duration of PFS was calculated as the end date minus date of first drug plus 1. For participants who did not have an event (those lost to follow-up or who had not progressed at the date of data cut-off) PFS was censored. The median PFS and corresponding 95% CI was estimated for each treatment group using the Kaplan-Meier method.

FAS analysis set included all randomized participants.

CBR was defined as the number of participants (CR + PR + stable disease (SD) greater than or equal to 6 months) divided by the number of participants in the analysis population. The 95% CI was generated for the clinical benefit rate for each treatment group, and it was based on the Clopper-Pearson method for calculating the exact binomial intervals.

FAS analysis set included all randomized participants.

DoR was defined as the time from first documented CR or PR until PD or death from any cause. It was measured from the time that measurement criteria were met for CR or PR (whichever status was recorded first) until the first date that recurrent or PD was objectively documented. It was defined for participants with a confirmed CR or a confirmed PR. Participants without progressive disease or death were censored. Median duration and 95% CI of the median were estimated for each treatment group, using the Kaplan-Meier method.

FAS analysis set included all randomized participants. Number of participants analyzed who had CR or PR.

General safety was assessed by monitoring all TEAEs and SAEs. TEAEs were reported at a frequency of 0% or greater in the study population.

SAS included all randomized participants who received at least one dose of study medication and who had at least one safety assessment following the first dose of study medication.
