At baseline, Weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 16 and 20, then Q4W until PD, on Day 28 and 2 months post-PD, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death (whichever comes first). Assessed up to 12 months.

What was measured

A MMRM analysis of EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-LC13 was performed for 5 primary PRO symptoms (cough, dyspnea, chest pain, fatigue and appetite loss), and considered all data from baseline to PD or 12 months, excluding visits with excessive missing data (defined as \>75% missing data). An outcome variable consisting of a score from 0 to 100 was derived for each of the symptom scales/symptom items, with higher scores representing greater symptom severity. An improvement in symptoms was indicated by a negative change from baseline. A positive change from baseline indicated a deterioration of symptoms. A minimum clinically meaningful change was defined as an absolute change from baseline of ≥10. This outcome measure presents change from baseline for primary PRO symptoms (reported as adjusted means) for analysis of D + T + EP vs EP. Analysis of D + EP vs EP is presented in a separate outcome measure.

Analysis population: The China FAS included all randomized patients in the China cohort. For each symptom scale, only patients with data available were included in the analysis.

Groups in this outcome

China Cohort: D + T + EP

During Chemotherapy: Patients received durvalumab (D) 1500 mg in combination with tremelimumab (T) 75 mg IV infusion Q3W for 4 doses/cycles (Weeks 0, 3, 6 and 9). For chemotherapy (EP), patients received etoposide (80-100 mg/m\^2) with either carboplatin (area under the curve 5-6) or cisplatin (75-80 mg/m\^2) IV infusion Q3W for 4 doses/cycles (Weeks 0, 3, 6 and 9). Post-Chemotherapy: Patients then continued to receive durvalumab 1500 mg IV infusion Q4W from Week 12 until PD, unless there was unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or another discontinuation criterion was met. Patients also received an additional dose of tremelimumab 75 mg IV infusion post-chemotherapy (in combination with durvalumab) at Week 16 if they completed all 4 doses of durvalumab + tremelimumab during chemotherapy.

China Cohort: EP

For chemotherapy (EP), patients received etoposide (80-100 mg/m\^2) with either carboplatin (area under the curve 5-6) or cisplatin (75-80 mg/m\^2) IV infusion Q3W for 4 doses/cycles (Weeks 0, 3, 6 and 9). An additional 2 doses of EP (at Weeks 12 and 15) could be given at the investigators' discretion if clinically indicated.
