Avelumab in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (JAVELIN Lung 200)

The OS time was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. The participants who were still alive at the time of data analysis or who were lost to follow-up OS time was censored at the last recorded date that the participant was known to be alive before the data cutoff date. OS was measured using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates.

PFS was defined as the time from date of randomization until date of the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, whichever occurs first. PFS was assessed as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as adjudicated by independent endpoint review committee (IERC). PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of longest diameter (SLD), taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. PFS was measured using Kaplan-Meier (KM) estimates.

Confirmed BOR was determined according to RECIST v1.1 and as adjudicated by an IERC. Confirmed BOR was defined as the best response of any of the complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD) recorded from the date of randomization until disease progression or recurrence (taking the smallest measurement recorded since the start of treatment as reference). CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. SD: Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. Number of participants with best overall response in each category (CR, PR, SD, PD) was reported.

Percentage of participants with objective response (CR plus PR) according to RECIST v1.1 was reported. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions.

The EQ-5D-5L health outcome questionnaire was a measure of health status that provides a simple descriptive profile and a single index value. The EQ-5D-5L defined health in terms of mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. The 5 items were combined to generate health profiles. These profiles were converted to a continuous single index score. The lowest possible score was -0.59 (unable to walk, unable to self-care, unable to do usual activities, extreme pain or discomfort, extreme anxiety or depression) and the highest was 1.00 (no problems in all 5 dimensions).

EQ-5D-5L was comprised of the following 5 participant-reported dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension had 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. The responses were used to derive overall score using a visual analog scale (VAS) that ranged from 0 to 100 millimeter (mm), where 0 was the worst health you can imagine and 100 was the best health you can imagine.

EORTC QLQ-C30 was a 30-question tool used to assess the overall quality of life (QoL) in cancer participants. It consisted of 15 domains: 1 global health status (GHS) scale, 5 functional scales (Physical, role, cognitive, emotional, social), and 9 symptom scales/items (Fatigue, nausea and vomiting, pain, dyspnea, sleep disturbance, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, financial impact). The EORTC QLQ-C30 GHS/QoL score ranged from 0 to 100; High score indicated better GHS/QoL. Score 0 represents: very poor physical condition and QoL. Score 100 represents: excellent overall physical condition and QoL.

EORTC QLQ-LC13 consisted of 13 questions relating to disease symptoms specific to lung cancer and treatment side effects typical of treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The EORTC QLQ-LC13 module generated one multiple-item score assessing dyspnea and a series of single item scores assessing coughing, hemoptysis, sore mouth, dysphagia, neuropathy, alopecia, pain in chest, pain in arms or shoulder and pain in other parts. Score range: 0 (no burden of symptom domain or single symptom item) to 100 (highest burden of symptoms for symptom domains and single items).

An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including clinically significant abnormal laboratory, vital signs and 12-lead Electrocardiogram findings), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent events were the events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state up to 30 days after last administration. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

Treatment Emergent Adverse Events were graded as per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Experience version 4.03 (NCI-CTCAE v 4.03). Grade 3 refers to severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care and Activity of daily living (ADL), Grade 4 refers to Life-threatening consequences; where urgent intervention indicated, Grade 5 refers to the death related to adverse event.

ECOG performance status measured to assess participant's performance status on a scale of 0 to 5, where 0 = Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction; 1 = Restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory and able to carry out light or sedentary work; 2 = Ambulatory and capable of all selfcare but unable to carry out any work activities; 3 = Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed/chair for more than 50 percent of waking hours; 4 = Completely disabled, cannot carry on any self-care, totally confined to bed/chair; 5 = dead. The participants with missing worst post baseline score were also reported. ECOG performance status was reported in terms of number of participants with Baseline value vs. worst post-baseline value (i.e. highest score) combination.

Serum samples were analyzed by a validated electrochemiluminesce immunoassay to detect the presence of antidrug antibodies (ADA). Samples that screened positive were subsequently tested in a confirmatory assay were tested for neutralizing antibodies (nAb). Number of participants with ADA or nAb positive results for Avelumab were reported.
