Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death from any cause. OS was censored on the last date a subject was known to be alive. Survival follow-up was to be conducted every 3 months after participants's off-treatment date.

    From date of randomization to date of death (assessed up to October 2019, approximately 23 months)

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Progression Free Survival (PFS) by BICR

    From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (assessed up to October 2024, approximately 72 months)

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) by BICR

    From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (assessed up to October 2024, approximately 72 months)

  • Duration of Response (DoR)

    From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (assessed up to October 2024, approximately 72 months)

  • Time to Response (TTR)

    From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (assessed up to October 2024, approximately 72 months)

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) by BICR by PD-LI Tumor Cell Expression

    From date of randomization until date of documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (assessed up to October 2024, approximately 72 months)

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Participants with histologically confirmed Stage IV or recurrent NSCLC squamous or non-squamous histology, with no prior systemic anticancer therapy
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 1
  • Measurable disease by CT or MRI per response evaluation criteria in solid tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria
  • Participants must have PD-L1 IHC testing with results performed by a central laboratory during the screening period

You may not qualify if:

  • Participants with known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations which are sensitive to available targeted inhibitor therapy (including, but not limited to, deletions in exon 19 and exon 21 \[L858R\] substitution mutations) are excluded
  • Participants with known anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocations which are sensitive to available targeted inhibitor therapy are excluded
  • Participants with untreated CNS metastases are excluded. Participants are eligible if CNS metastases are adequately treated and participants are neurologically returned to baseline (except for residual signs or symptoms related to the CNS treatment) for at least 2 weeks prior to first treatment
