What was measured

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study treatment and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the study treatment or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition that was temporally associated with the use of study treatment, was also an AE. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is presented.

Analysis population: The analysis population consisted of all participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.

Groups in this outcome

Pembrolizumab

Participants received pembrolizumab 200 mg by IV infusion on Day 1 Q3W for a maximum of 35 cycles (21-day cycles)

Chemotherapy (SOC Treatment)

Participants received carboplatin at target dose AUC 5 (maximum dose 750 mg) or AUC 6 (maximum dose 900 mg) + paclitaxel 200 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Day 1 Q3W for a maximum of 6 cycles (21-day cycles) OR carboplatin target dose AUC 5 (maximum dose 750 mg) or AUC 6 (maximum dose 900 mg) + pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Day 1 Q3W for a maximum of 6 cycles (21-day cycles). Participants with non-squamous histologies received optional additional maintenance treatment with pemetrexed 500 mg/m\^2 by IV infusion on Day 1 Q3W
