Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryOverall Survival (OS) in Participants With Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) With a Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥20From randomization to date of death or date the participant was last known to be alive (Up to approximately 55 months)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time between randomization and death. For participants without documentation of death, OS will be censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive. Overall survival will be censored at the date of randomization for participants who were randomized but had no follow-up. Survival follow-up will be conducted every 3 months after participants off-treatment date. (Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates)
PrimaryOverall Survival (OS) in All Randomized ParticipantsFrom randomization to date of death or date the participant was last known to be alive (Up to approximately 55 months)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time between randomization and death. For participants without documentation of death, OS will be censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive. Overall survival will be censored at the date of randomization for participants who were randomized but had no follow-up. Survival follow-up will be conducted every 3 months after participants off-treatment date. (Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates)
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) in Randomized Participants With Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) With a Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥ 1From randomization to date of death or date the participant was last known to be alive (Up to approximately 65 months)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time between randomization and death. For participants without documentation of death, OS will be censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive. Overall survival will be censored at the date of randomization for participants who were randomized but had no follow-up. Survival follow-up will be conducted every 3 months after participants off-treatment date. (Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates)
SecondaryProgression Free Survival (PFS)From randomization to disease progression or death (Up to approximately 65 months)
PFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first documented tumor progression, based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) assessments (per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who neither progress nor die will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment. Participants who receive subsequent anti-cancer therapy prior to documented progression, will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment prior to subsequent therapy. (Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates) Progression is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, in addition the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. (Note: the appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression).
SecondaryObjective Response Rate (ORR)From randomization up to approximately 65 months
Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria by blinded independent central review (BICR) assessment. Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
SecondaryDuration of Objective Response (DOR)From randomization to the first documented response (CR or PR) and progression (up to approximately 65 months)
The time between the first documented response (Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)) and progression or death, per RECIST 1.1 by blinded independent central review (BICR) assessment. (Based on Kaplan-Meier Estimates) Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \< 10 mm. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
