Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization up to death from any cause (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    Overall survival is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. OS Rates at the 6, 12, 18, 24-Months Timepoints [ Time Frame: 6, 12, 18 and 24 months ]
    OS rate at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months were estimated for each treatment arm.

  2. Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Rate, as Determined by the Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 (v1.1) [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as a Best Overall Response (BOR) of either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), as determined by the investigator with use of RECIST v1.1. A minimum interval of 6 weeks (42 days) will be considered for Stable Disease (SD) to be assigned as best overall response, i.e. in the case the single response is SD, PR or CR, this single response must have been assessed no less than 6 weeks (at least 42 days) after start date of study treatment.

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented disease progression as determined by the investigator with the use of RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR), as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 [ Time Frame: Time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response to the time of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    DOR is defined as the time from the first tumor assessment that supports the participants' objective response (CR or PR, whichever is first reported) to documented disease progression as determined by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1 or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, among patients who have a best overall response as CR or PR.

  5. Percentage of Participants With At Lease One Adverse Event [ Time Frame: From randomization up to approximately 55 months ]
    Percentage of participants with at least one adverse event.

  6. Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 1 of each treatment cycle up to 30 days after last dose (up to approximately 55 months) (Cycle length = 21 days) ]
    EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated and reliable self-report measure that consists of 30 questions that assess five aspects of patient functioning (physical, emotional, role, cognitive, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain), global health/quality of life, and six single items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). EORTC QLQ-C30 is scored according to the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001). All EORTC scales and single-item measures are linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional/global health status scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning/HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life); however a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. A ≥10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).

  7. Change From Baseline in EORTC QLQ Supplementary Lung Cancer Module 13 (EORTC QLQ-LC13) Score [ Time Frame: Baseline, Day 1 of each treatment cycle up to 30 days after last dose (up to approximately 55 months) (Cycle length = 21 days) ]
    The EORTC QLQ-LC13 module incorporates one multiple item scale to assess dyspnea and a series of single items assessing pain, coughing, sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy, alopecia, and hemoptysis. The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is scored according to the EORTC scoring manual (Fayers et al. 2001). All EORTC scales and single-item measures are linearly transformed so that each score has a range of 0-100. A high score for a functional/global health status scale represents a high or healthy level of functioning/HRQoL (Health-Related Quality of Life); however, a high score for a symptom scale or item represents a high level of symptomatology or problems. A≥10-point change in the symptoms subscale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).

  8. Time to Deterioration (TTD) in Patient-Reported Lung Cancer Symptoms as Assessed by EORTC QLQ-C30 Score [ Time Frame: From baseline up to approximately 55 months ]
    TTD with use of the EORTC is defined as the time from randomization to the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in EORTC symptom scores. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in lung cancer symptoms is defined as a = 10-point increase above baseline in a symptom score that must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial = 10-point increase above baseline followed by either (a) death within 6 weeks from the last assessment through Week 48 or (b) death within 9 weeks from the last assessment from Week 48 thereafter. A = 10-point change in the EORTC scale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant (Osoba et al. 1998).

  9. Time to Deterioration in Patient-Reported Lung Cancer Symptoms As Assessed by EORTC QLQ-LC13 Score [ Time Frame: From baseline up to approximately 55 months ]
    TTD with use of the EORTC is defined as the time from randomization to the first confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in EORTC symptom scores. Confirmed clinically meaningful deterioration in lung cancer symptoms is defined as a = 10-point increase above baseline in a symptom score that must be held for at least two consecutive assessments or an initial = 10-point increase above baseline followed by either (a) death within 6 weeks from the last assessment through Week 48 or (b) death within 9 weeks from the last assessment from Week 48 thereafter. A = 10-point change in the EORTC scale score is perceived by participants as clinically significant.

  10. Overall Survival in Participants With PD-L1 Positive Status [ Time Frame: From randomization up to death from any cause (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    Overall survival will be assessed in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 protein as measured by PD-L1 SP263 IHC assay.

  11. Progression-Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by the Investigator Using RECIST v1.1 in Participants With PD-L1 Positive Status [ Time Frame: From randomization to the first occurence of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 55 months) ]
    Investigator-assessed PFS according to RECIST v1.1 assessed in participants whose tumors express PD-L1 protein as measured by PD-L1 SP263 IHC assay.
