Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression-Free Survival in Participants With PD-L1 Expression >= 5%
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented tumor progression, as determined by the Independent Radiology Review Committee (IRRC) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who die without a reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on-study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on the day they were randomized. Participants who received subsequent anti-cancer therapy prior to documented progression were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment prior to the initiation of new therapy.
From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression (assessed up to August 2016, approximately 28 months)
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Progression-Free Survival in All Randomized Participants
From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression (assessed up to August 2016, approximately 28 months)
Overall Survival in Participants With PD-L1 Expression >= 5%
From date of randomization to date of death (up to approximately 89 months)
Overall Survival in All Randomized Participants
From date of randomization to date of death (up to approximately 89 months)
Objective Response Rate (ORR) in Participants With PD-L1 Expression >= 5%
From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (assessed up to August 2016, approximately 28 months)
Disease-related Symptom Improvement Rate by Week 12
From date of randomization to week 12
Study Arms (2)
Arm A: Nivolumab subjects
EXPERIMENTALNivolumab solution for Injection 3 mg/kg Intravenous every 2 weeks until disease progression, discontinuation due to unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or study closure
Arm B: Investigator's Choice Chemotherapy
ACTIVE COMPARATORInvestigator's Choice Chemotherapy administered in 3-week cycles up to a maximum of 6 cycles of Intravenous injection until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or completion of the 6 cycles, whichever comes first Squamous subjects: * Gemcitabine 1250 mg/mg(2) administered on Day 1 and Day 8 with Cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) administered on Day 1 of each cycle; or * Gemcitabine 1000 mg/mg(2) administered on Day 1 and Day 8 with Carboplatin (AUC 5) administered on Day 1 of each cycle; or * Paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) with Carboplatin (AUC 6) administered on Day 1 of each cycle Non-Squamous subjects: * Pemetrexed 500 mg/m(2) with Cisplatin 75 mg/m(2) administered on Day 1 of each cycle * Pemetrexed 500 mg/m(2) Carboplatin (AUC 6) administered on Day 1 of each cycle Optional crossover: * Nivolumab solution for Injection 3 mg/kg Intravenous every 2 weeks until disease progression, discontinuation due to toxicity, withdrawal of consent or study closure
