Brief Summary
This is a randomized, open-label, multi-center, global, Phase III study to determine the efficacy and safety of durvalumab + tremelimumab combination therapy versus platinum-based SoC chemotherapy in the first-line treatment of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type advanced or metastatic NSCLC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Overall Survival (OS); Global Cohort: Blood Tumor Mutational Burden (bTMB) ≥20 Mutations Per Megabase (Mut/Mb) Analysis Set
The OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause (ie, date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1). Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
From baseline (Day 1, Week 0) until death due to any cause, assessed up to the Global cohort DCO date (a maximum of approximately 44 months).
OS; China Cohort: China Programmed Cell Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Negative NSCLC Analysis Set
The OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause (ie, date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1). Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
From baseline (Day 1, Week 0) until death due to any cause, assessed up to the China cohort DCO date (a maximum of approximately 44 months).
Secondary Outcomes (18)
OS; Global Cohort: bTMB ≥16 Mut/Mb, bTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, PD-L1-Negative NSCLC, bTMB <20 Mut/Mb, bTMB Non-Evaluable Population, tTMB ≥14 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥10 Mut/Mb, and tTMB ≥8 Mut/Mb Analysis Sets
From baseline (Day 1, Week 0) until death due to any cause, assessed up to the Global cohort DCO date (a maximum of approximately 44 months).
OS; Global and China Cohorts: FAS, PD-L1 Tumor Cell (TC) ≥25%, and PD-L1 TC ≥50% Analysis Sets
From baseline (Day 1, Week 0) until death due to any cause, assessed up to the Global or China cohort DCO dates, as applicable (a maximum of approximately 44 months) for each cohort.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS); Global Cohort: bTMB ≥20 Mut/Mb, bTMB ≥16 Mut/Mb, bTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥14 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥10 Mut/Mb, and tTMB ≥8 Mut/Mb Analysis Sets
Tumour scans performed at baseline and every 6 weeks up to 48 weeks relative to date of randomization, then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed PD/death. Up to Global cohort DCO date (approximately 44 months).
PFS; Global and China Cohorts: PD-L1-Negative NSCLC, FAS, PD-L1 TC ≥25%, and PD-L1 TC ≥50% Analysis Sets
Tumour scans performed at baseline and every 6 weeks up to 48 weeks relative to date of randomization, then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed PD/death. Up to Global or China cohort DCO dates, as applicable (approximately 44 months) for each cohort.
Objective Response Rate (ORR); Global Cohort: bTMB ≥20 Mut/Mb, bTMB ≥16 Mut/Mb, bTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥14 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥12 Mut/Mb, tTMB ≥10 Mut/Mb, and tTMB ≥8 Mut/Mb Analysis Sets
Tumour scans performed at baseline and every 6 weeks up to 48 weeks relative to date of randomization, then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed PD/death. Up to Global cohort DCO date (approximately 44 months).
