Excerpt:
At a minimum follow-up of 12.7 months, median OS was not reached with nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy versus 13.3 months with chemotherapy [hazard ratio (HR) 0.33; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.14-0.80]. Median PFS was 8.4 versus 5.4 months (HR 0.47; 95% CI 0.24-0.92) and ORR was 57% versus 23%, respectively. Grade 3-4 treatment-related adverse events were observed in 57% versus 60% of patients, respectively.Consistent with results in the all randomized population, nivolumab plus ipilimumab combined with chemotherapy improved efficacy in the Asian subpopulation versus chemotherapy alone and had a manageable safety profile, supporting its use as first-line treatment for advanced NSCLC in Asian patients.
