Adverse events

Study of Nivolumab in Combination With Ipilimumab Compared to the Standard of Care (Extreme Regimen) as First Line Treatment in Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Head and Neck · Source last updated 2023-09-21

Results reported by the registry submitting party. Population, time horizon, units and missing values must be read together.

Adverse events occurred during the study; they are not necessarily caused by treatment. Serious events are not interchangeable with severe/grade 3–4 events. These safety populations may differ from efficacy populations.

Collection time frame
All-cause mortality was assessed from participants first dose to their study completion (up to approximately 65 months). SAEs and Other AEs were assessed from first dose to 100 days following last dose (up to approximately 63 months)
Other-event reporting threshold
5%

The number at Risk for All-Cause Mortality represents all Randomized Participants. The number at Risk for Serious Adverse Events and Other (Not Including Serious) Adverse Events represents all participants that received at least 1 dose of study medication.

Participants affected / participants at risk, as reported
Safety groupSerious eventsOther eventsDeaths
Nivolumab + Ipilimumab

Nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks + Ipilimumab 1 mg/kg IV every 6 weeks until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or a maximum of 24 months from first nivolumab treatment.

313 / 468420 / 468388 / 472
EXTREME Regimen

Cetuximab 400 mg/m2 IV for the initial dose only, then 250 mg/m2 weekly + cisplatin (100mg/m2) or carboplatin (AUC of 5 mg per milliliter per minute) on Day 1 and fluorouracil (1000 mg/m2 per day for 4 days) every 3 weeks for maximum of 6 cycles followed by maintenance cetuximab at 250 mg/m2 weekly (or every 2 weeks, per local prescribing information) until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity; the choice of cisplatin or carboplatin is at the discretion of the investigator.
