The MESTT grading scale of the acneiform rash severity was a 3-point scale ranging from 1 to 3:
Scale 1 = 1A: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1 centimeter (cm) in size. 1B: papules or pustules ≤5; OR 1 area of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain or pruritus.
Scale 2 = 2A: papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 2B: Papules or pustules 6-20; OR 2-5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.
Scale 3 = 3A: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size. 3B: papules or pustules > 20; OR more than 5 areas of erythema or edema <1 cm in size; AND pain, pruritus, or effect on emotions or functioning.
Grading was performed individually for the face, scalp, chest, and back. The sum of all body region scores yielded the total score (range: 4 to 12).
Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Time to First Response of 1 Grade Improvement From Baseline on the Acneiform Rash Modified MESTT Grading Scale (Total Score)
Time to first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (total score): Date of onset of the first response of 1 grade improvement from baseline on the acneiform rash modified MESTT grading scale (total score) - Date of the first dose of study treatment (or from randomization for any participant randomized but not treated) + 1.
Measured: Baseline to 55 days

Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Inhibitor 18 (FACT-EGFRi-18) at Week 8
The FACT-EGFRi-18 was an 18-item likert-scaled questionnaire, arranged in three dimensions: physical (seven items), social/emotional (six items), and functional well-being (five items). The response scores ranged from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
The total score was obtained by multiplying the sum of the subscale by the number of items in the scale (18), and then dividing by the number of items actually answered.
The total score ranged from 0-72 with a higher score represented a high level of symptomatology (problems).
Measured: Baseline, Week 8
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant temporally associated with the use of a study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of study treatment that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE was considered "serious" if there was any of the following outcomes: death, life-threatening, Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of ability to conduct normal life functions, congenital anomaly/birth defect, other important medical events. An AE was considered treatment-emergent if the date of onset was during or after first dose of study treatment, or if the AE present at baseline worsened in either intensity or frequency after first dose of study treatment.
Measured: From first dose to 55 days
