Limitations and caveats
The impact on treatment was considered very limited due to the small number of patients remaining on treatment, the short COVID-19 restriction period (in Asia), and limited restrictions for healthcare visits (in Europe/North America).

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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryOverall Survival (OS) in the Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Analysis SetApproximately 2 years and 10 months from date of first randomizationOS is defined as the length of time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause in all randomized participants
SecondaryOverall Survival (OS) in the PDL-1 Positive Analysis SetThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)OS is defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause in the PD-L1 positive population, defined as vCPS ≥10%.
SecondaryObjective Response Rate (ORR) in the ITT Analysis SetThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1;
SecondaryOverall Response Rate (ORR) in the PD-L1 Positive Analysis SetsThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1;
SecondaryProgression-free Survival (PFS) in the ITT Analysis SetThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first; reported for the ITT analysis set
SecondaryProgression-free Survival (PFS) in the PDL-1 Positive Analysis SetThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)
PFS is defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first; reported for the PDL-1 Positive Analysis Set
SecondaryDuration of Response (DOR) in the ITT Analysis SetThrough End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)
DOR is defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response until the first documentation of progression as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever comes first
SecondaryDuration of Response (DOR) in the PDL-1 Positive Analysis Set.Through End-of-Trial Analysis data cutoff date of 28-Dec-2022 (up to approximately 5 years)
DOR is defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response until the first documentation of progression as assessed by the investigator per RECIST v1.1, or death, whichever comes first
SecondaryHealth-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) as Assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C-30) in the ITT Analysis SetBaseline to Cycle 6 (21 days per cycle)
Mean change from baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 index score. The EORTC QLQ-C30 v3.0 is a questionnaire that assesses quality of life of cancer participants. It includes global health status and quality of life questions related to overall health in which participants respond based on a 7-point scale, where 1 is very poor and 7 is excellent. Raw scores are transformed into a 0 to 100 scale via linear transformation. A higher score indicates better health outcomes
