MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival of Participants During the Study - All Treated ParticipantsDate of Randomization to date of death, up to last patient, last visit, approximately 7 months after study startedOverall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death. For those participants who did not die by the time the study was terminated and last patient, last visit occurred, OS was censored (+) on the last date the participant was known to be alive. OS is presented below in increasing monthly categories of survival. OS analysis was to be performed when a total of approximately 132 deaths were observed but due to the early termination of the study, statistical analyses were not performed.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Study started July 2012 and completed February 2013. After 9 participants enrolled, the study was terminated for administrative reasons unrelated to adverse events (AEs) or expectation of efficacy associated with either ipilimumab or pemetrexed.

Pre-assignment details

9 participants enrolled; 8 participants randomized; 1 participant not randomized due to disease progression and death.

Overall Survival of Participants During the Study - All Treated Participants

Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death. For those participants who did not die by the time the study was terminated and last patient, last visit occurred, OS was censored (+) on the last date the participant was known to be alive. OS is presented below in increasing monthly categories of survival. OS analysis was to be performed when a total of approximately 132 deaths were observed but due to the early termination of the study, statistical analyses were not performed.

Time frame: Date of Randomization to date of death, up to last patient, last visit, approximately 7 months after study started

Population: All participants who received at least one dose of either study drug.
