- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]
Progression-free survival (PFS) based on investigator assessments according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1.
PFS is defined as time from date of randomization until the date of objective radiological disease progression using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From randomization until the date of death due to any cause, up to 18 months. ]
Overall survival (OS) across the maintenance phase.
OS is defined as time from date of randomization until the date of death by any cause
- Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]Objective response rate (ORR) defined as number of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after randomization
- Duration of Response [ Time Frame: From date of first documented response until objective radiological disease progression or death, up to 18 months. ]
Duration of response (DoR) defined as time from the date of first documented response following randomization until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
Percentage of participants remaining in response at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
- Progression-free Survival in Homologous Recombination Repair Related Gene Mutation (HRRm) Population [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]Progression-free survival in homologous recombination repair related gene mutation (HRRm) population defined as time from date of randomization until the date of objective radiological disease progression in HRRm population using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression).
- Concentration of Durvalumab [ Time Frame: Assessed from start of initial therapy up to 2 years. ]Concentration (pharmacokinetics) of durvalumab
- Change From Baseline in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-Lung Cancer (LC)13 [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]
Disease-related symptoms assessed by change from baseline (for maintenance phase) in EORTC QLQ-LC13. Average adjusted mean over first 11 cycles is presented.
The EORTC QLQ-LC13 was scored according to the published scoring manual. An outcome variable consisting of a score from 0 to 100 was derived for each of the symptom scales in the EORTC QLQ-LC13. Higher scores on symptom scales represent greater symptom severity.
- Time to Deterioration in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-Lung Cancer (LC)13 [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]
Disease-related symptoms assessed by time to deterioration (for maintenance phase) in European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-Lung Cancer (LC)13.
Symptom deterioration is defined as an increase in the score from baseline of less than or equal to 10) that is confirmed at a subsequent assessment, or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful symptom deterioration.
NA is "not applicable". The upper confidence limit was not calculable because of an insufficient number of participants with events.
- Change From Baseline in EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: Includes all assessments occurring within the first 12 months of randomization or until disease progression, up to 18 months. ]
Disease-related symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessed by change from baseline (for maintenance phase) in EORTC QLQ-C30. Average adjusted mean over first 11 cycles is presented.
The EORTC QLQ-C30 was scored according to the published scoring manual. An outcome variable consisting of a score from 0 to 100 was derived for each of the symptom scales, each of the function scales, and the global health status/QoL scale in the EORTC QLQ-C30. Higher scores on the global health status and function scales indicate better health status/function.
A high scale score represents a higher response level. Thus a high score for a functional scale represents a high / healthy level of functioning, a high score for the global health status / quality of life (QoL) represents a high QoL, but a high score for a symptom scale / item represents a high level of symptomatology / problems.
- Time to Deterioration in EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) QLQ-C30 [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of first symptom deterioration that is confirmed, up to 18 months. ]
Disease-related symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) assessed by time to deterioration (for maintenance phase) in EORTC QLQ-C30.
NA is "not applicable". The upper confidence limit was not calculable because of an insufficient number of participants with events.
- Presence of Anti-drug Antibodies (ADAs) for Durvalumab [ Time Frame: Assessed from start of initial therapy up to 2 years. ]Presence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) for durvalumab, as assessed at 3, 6, 12, 16 and 20 weeks after start of treatment and every 12 weeks thereafter until 3 and 6 months after last dose of durvalumab
- Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From randomization until date of objective radiological disease progression or death, or last evaluable assessment in the absence of progression, up to 18 months ]Number of Participants with Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

- Ability to swallow whole oral medications.
- All patients must provide a formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tumor sample for tissue-based immunohistochemistry staining and DNA sequencing to determine PD-L1 expression, HRRm status, and other correlatives: either newly acquired or archival tumor samples (<3 years old) are acceptable. If available, a newly acquired tumor biopsy, collected as part of routine clinical practice, is preferred. If not available, an archival sample taken <3 years prior to screening is acceptable. If both an archival sample and a fresh tumor biopsy sample are available, both samples should be submitted for analysis and must be submitted as different samples using different accession numbers. Slides from different blocks cannot be mixed and submitted with the same kit.

- Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders.
- Any concurrent chemotherapy, IP, biologic, or hormonal therapy for cancer treatment.
- Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first dose of Investigational Product (IP)
