Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed up to February 2015, approximately 20 months) ]
    PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression, as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Progression is defined, using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study, and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. Participants who died without a reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on their date of randomization. Participants who started anti-cancer therapy without prior reported progression were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment prior to the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to date of death (Assessed up to September 2016, approximately 39 months) ]
    OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.

  3. Rate of Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 6, 12, and 24 months ]
    OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive. The overall survival rate at time T (6, 12, or 24 months) was defined as the probability that a participant was alive at time T following randomization.

  4. Rate of Progression-Free Survival [ Time Frame: 6, 12, and 24 months ]
    PFS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression, as determined by the Investigator, or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who died without a reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die were censored on their date of randomization. Participants treated beyond progression were considered to have progressive disease at the time of the initial progression event regardless of subsequent tumor response. Participants who started anti-cancer therapy without a prior reported progression were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment prior to the initiation of subsequent anti-cancer therapy.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (assessed up to February 2015, approximately 20 months) ]
    PFS data is presented as it was in Primary Outcome Measure #1. The statistical analysis following this outcome measure (#5) reports on a secondary objective comparing PFS between the Nivolumab and Nivolumab + Ipilimumab arms.

  2. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to date of death (Assessed up to September 2016, approximately 39 months) ]
    OS data is presented as it was in Primary Outcome Measure #2. The statistical analysis following this outcome measure (#6) reports on a secondary objective comparing OS between the Nivolumab and Nivolumab + Ipilimumab arms.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator Assessment [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of disease progression or the date of subsequent anti-cancer therapy, whichever occurs first (Assessed up to February 2015, approximately 20 months) ]
    The ORR was defined as the number of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the number of randomized participants for each arm. The BOR was defined as the best response designation, as determined by the Investigator, recorded between the date of randomization and the date of progression, as assessed by the Investigator per RECIST 1.1 or the date of subsequent anticancer therapy (including tumor-directed radiotherapy and tumor-directed surgery), whichever occurred first. For participants without evidence of RECIST 1.1 progression or subsequent anticancer therapy, all available response designations contributed to the BOR assessment. CR= Disappearance of all evidence of disease, confirmed by PET scan; PR= Regression of measureable disease and no new sites; Stable Disease (SD)= Failure to attain CR/PR or PD; Progressive Disease (PD)= Any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir.

  4. Progression-Free Survival Based on PD-L1 Expression Level [ Time Frame: From randomization until disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (Assessed up to September 2016, approximately 39 months) ]
    PD-L1 expression was defined as the percent of tumor cells demonstrating plasma membrane PD-L1 staining of any intensity using an IHC assay. Tumor biopsy specimens without measurable PD-L1 expression were classified as indeterminate if the staining was hampered for reasons attributed to the biology of the specimen and not because of improper specimen preparation or handling. Missing specimens, specimens that were not optimally collected (ie not evaluable), and all other specimens were classified as unknown. Participants must have been classified as PD-L1 >=5% or PD-L1 <5% per a verified IHC assay, or as indeterminate (ie not unknown), in order to be randomized.

  5. Overall Survival Based on PD-L1 Expression Level [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of death (Assessed up to September 2016, approximately 39 months) ]
    OS was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death. For participants without documentation of death, OS was censored on the last date the participant was known to be alive.

  6. Mean Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Global Health Status [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, then every 6 weeks until treatment discontinuation ]
    Health Related Quality of Life was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire Version 3. With the exception of 2 items included in the global health/quality of life scale, for which responses range from 1 (Very poor) to 7 (Excellent), item responses range from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). Raw scores for the EORTC QLQ-C30 are transformed to a 0-100 metric such that higher scores for all functional scales and Global Health Status indicate better HRQoL; an increase from baseline indicates improvement in HRQoL compared to baseline. The mean score for all participants in an arm at a given week was subtracted from the mean score of the participants in that arm at baseline. Mean changes from baseline score is presented for all participants in an arm that remained on treatment and completed the EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire at that time point.

  7. Mean Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) Social Functioning [ Time Frame: Baseline and weeks 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 25, then every 6 weeks until treatment discontinuation ]
