Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

In this study, all patients must have already completed first-line chemotherapy to treat extensive-stage disease small cell lung cancer. The purpose of this study is to show that nivolumab, or nivolumab plus ipilimumab followed by nivolumab by itself, will prolong overall survival when administered as consolidation treatment in patients that are stable or responding after chemotherapy. Patients receiving treatment will be compared with patients taking placebo.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival (OS) of Nivo + Ipi vs Placebo [Approximately 37 months after the first subject is randomized]

      OS was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. A participant who had not died was censored at last known alive date. OS was followed up during the blinded study drug treatment and every 3 months via in-person or phone contact after participant discontinued the blinded study drug

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall Survival (OS) [Approximately 37 months after the first subject is randomized]

      OS was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. A participant who had not died was censored at last known alive date. OS was followed up during the blinded study drug treatment and every 3 months via in-person or phone contact after participant discontinued the blinded study drug

    2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Approximately 37 months after the first subject is randomized]

      PFS (primary definition) was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression as determined by Blind Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who died with no reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment on or prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die (or died after initiation of the subsequent anti- cancer therapy) were censored on their date of randomization. Participants who started any subsequent anti- cancer therapy without a prior reported Progressive Disease (PD) per BICR were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment on or prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy.

    3. OS in TMB High and Low Subgroups by TMB Cutoff [Approximately 37 Months]

      OS in TMB by the following cutoff points: ≥10 mutations/mb, < 10 mutations/mb, ≥13 mutations/mb, <13 mutations/mb

    4. PFS in TMB High and Low Subgroups by TMB Cutoff [Approximately 37 Months]

      PFS in TMB by the following cutoff points: ≥10 mutations/mb, < 10 mutations/mb, ≥13 mutations/mb, <13 mutations/mb

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Overall Survival (OS) of Nivo + Ipi vs Placebo
    Description OS was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. A participant who had not died was censored at last known alive date. OS was followed up during the blinded study drug treatment and every 3 months via in-person or phone contact after participant discontinued the blinded study drug
    Time Frame Approximately 37 months after the first subject is randomized

    3. Secondary Outcome
    Title Progression Free Survival (PFS)
    Description PFS (primary definition) was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression as determined by Blind Independent Central Review (BICR) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. Participants who died with no reported progression were considered to have progressed on the date of death. Participants who did not progress or die were censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment on or prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy. Participants who did not have any on study tumor assessments and did not die (or died after initiation of the subsequent anti- cancer therapy) were censored on their date of randomization. Participants who started any subsequent anti- cancer therapy without a prior reported Progressive Disease (PD) per BICR were censored at the last evaluable tumor assessment on or prior to initiation of the subsequent anti-cancer therapy.
    Time Frame Approximately 37 months after the first subject is randomized
