ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryProgression-Free Survival (PFS); D + SoC Compared With SoC Alone
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months).
PFS (per RECIST version 1.1 \[RECIST 1.1\] using Blinded Independent Central Review \[BICR\] assessments) was defined as time from date of randomization until date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression), regardless of whether the patient withdrew from randomized therapy or received another anticancer therapy prior to progression. Median PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. The final analysis of PFS in the global cohort was pre-specified after approximately 497 BICR PFS events occurred across the D + SoC and SoC alone treatment arms (75% maturity).
PrimaryOverall Survival (OS); D + SoC Compared With SoC AloneFrom baseline until death due to any cause. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique. The final analysis of OS in the global cohort was pre-specified after approximately 532 OS events occurred across the D + SoC and SoC alone treatment arms (80% maturity).
SecondaryPFS; T + D + SoC Compared With SoC Alone and T + D + SoC Compared With D + SoC
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months.
PFS (per RECIST 1.1 using BICR assessments) was defined as time from date of randomization until date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression), regardless of whether the patient withdrew from randomized therapy or received another anticancer therapy prior to progression. Median PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
SecondaryOS; T + D + SoC Compared With SoC Alone and T + D + SoC Compared With D + SoCFrom baseline until death due to any cause. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021 (maximum of approximately 45 months).
OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. Any patient not known to have died at the time of analysis was censored based on the last recorded date on which the patient was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
SecondaryObjective Response Rate (ORR)
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months).
ORR (per RECIST 1.1 using BICR assessments) was defined as the percentage of patients with at least one visit response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Results are presented for the pre-specified ORR analysis using unconfirmed responses based on BICR.
SecondaryBest Objective Response (BoR)
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months).
The BoR was calculated based on the overall visit responses from each RECIST 1.1 assessment. BOR was defined as the best response a patient had following randomization, but prior to starting any subsequent cancer therapy and up to and including RECIST 1.1 progression or the last evaluable assessment in the absence of RECIST 1.1 progression, as determined by BICR. Categorization of BoR was based on RECIST using the following 'response' categories: CR and PR and the following 'non-response' categories: stable disease (SD) ≥6 weeks, progression (ie, PD) and not evaluable (NE). Results are presented for number (%) of patients in each specified category.
SecondaryDuration of Response (DoR)
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months).
DoR (per RECIST 1.1 using BICR assessments) was defined as the time from the date of first documented response until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression. The end of response coincided with the date of progression or death from any cause used for the RECIST 1.1 PFS endpoint. The time of the initial response was defined as the latest of the dates contributing towards the first visit of PR or CR. Results are presented for the pre-specified DoR analysis using unconfirmed responses based on BICR.
SecondaryTime From Randomization to Second Progression (PFS2)
Tumor scans performed at baseline, Week 6, Week 12 and then every 8 weeks relative to date of randomization until radiological progression. Assessed until global cohort DCO of 24 July 2019 (maximum of approximately 25 months).
PFS2 was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest of the progression event (subsequent to that used for the primary variable PFS) or death. The date of second progression was recorded by the Investigator and defined according to local standard clinical practice and could involve any of: objective radiological imaging, symptomatic progression or death.
SecondaryPharmacokinetics (PK) of Durvalumab; Peak and Trough Serum ConcentrationsSamples were collected post-dose on Day 1 (Week 0), pre-dose on Weeks 3 and 12 and at follow-up (3 months after the last valid dose). Assessed at the global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021.
To evaluate PK, blood samples were collected at pre-specified timepoints and peak and trough serum concentrations of durvalumab were determined. Peak concentration on Week 0 is the post-infusion concentration of Week 0 (collected within 10 minutes of the end of infusion). Trough concentrations on Weeks 3 and 12 are the pre-infusion concentrations of Weeks 3 and 12, respectively.
SecondaryPK of Tremelimumab; Peak and Trough Serum ConcentrationsSamples were collected post-dose on Day 1 (Week 0), pre-dose on Weeks 3 and 12 and at follow-up (3 months after the last valid dose). Assessed at the global cohort DCO of 12 March 2021.
