MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival Based on Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1)Tumor scans performed at baseline then every ~8 weeks up to 48 weeks, then every ~12 weeks thereafter until confirmed disease progression. Assessed until 13 Feb 2017 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 3 years.PFS was defined as the time from randomization until the date of objective disease progression (RECIST 1.1) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression). Progression was defined using RECIST 1.1 as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
Overall SurvivalFrom baseline until death due to any cause. Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause. OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with at least one visit response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR: Disappearance of all target lesions; PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; OR = CR + PR.
Time to Deterioration of Global Health Status / Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL), Assessed Using European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer 30-Item Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)At baseline, every 4 weeks for first 8 weeks, then every ~8 weeks until 48 weeks, then every ~12 weeks thereafter until confirmed disease progression. Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.Global health status/HRQoL was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-C30 global QoL scale which includes 2 items from the QLQ-C30: How would you rate your overall health during the past week? (Item 29) and How would you rate your overall QoL during the past week? (Item 30). Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each item with higher scores indicating a better health status. Time to deterioration for global health status/HRQoL was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful deterioration (a decrease in global health status/HRQoL from baseline of ≥10) or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful deterioration.

Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a lung cancer specific module from the EORTC comprising 13 questions to assess lung cancer symptoms (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain, arm/shoulder pain, and other pain), treatment related side-effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy and alopecia) and pain medication. Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each symptom item with higher scores representing greater symptom severity. Time to symptom deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful symptom deterioration (an increase in the score from baseline of ≥10) or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful symptom deterioration. Results are presented for time to deterioration in the following PRO endpoints identified as primary for EORTC QLQ-LC13: dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis and chest pain. Time to deterioration was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
Pharmacokinetics (PK) of Durvalumab; Peak and Trough Serum ConcentrationsSamples were collected pre-dose on Day 1 (Week 0), Week 8, Week 24 and Week 48, and post-dose on Day 1 (Week 0) and Week 24. Analysis performed at 22 Mar 2018 DCO.To evaluate PK, blood samples were collected pre-dose and post-dose and trough and peak serum concentrations of durvalumab, respectively, were determined. Pre-dose samples were taken within 60 minutes before infusion and post-dose samples were taken within 10 minutes after the end of infusion.
Number of Patients With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) Response to DurvalumabSamples were collected pre-dose on Day 1 (Week 0), Week 8, Week 24 and Week 48. Analysis performed at 22 Mar 2018 DCO.ADA positive post-baseline only was also referred to as treatment-induced ADA positive. Treatment-boosted ADA was defined as baseline positive ADA titer that was boosted by ≥4-fold following drug administration.

The date of second progression was recorded by the investigator and defined according to local standard clinical practice, and could have involved any of the following: objective radiological, symptomatic progression, or death. RECIST assessments were not collected for assessment of PFS2. PFS2 was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

The EORTC QLQ-LC13 is a lung cancer specific module from the EORTC comprising 13 questions to assess lung cancer symptoms (cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, chest pain, arm/shoulder pain, and other pain), treatment related side-effects (sore mouth, dysphagia, peripheral neuropathy and alopecia) and pain medication. Scores from 0 to 100 were derived for each symptom item with higher scores representing greater symptom severity. Time to symptom deterioration was defined as time from randomization until the date of first clinically meaningful symptom deterioration (an increase in the score from baseline of ≥10) or death (by any cause) in the absence of a clinically meaningful symptom deterioration. Results are presented for time to deterioration in the following PRO endpoints identified as primary for EORTC QLQ-LC13: dyspnea, cough, hemoptysis and chest pain. Time to deterioration was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

Time frame: At baseline, every 4 weeks for first 8 weeks, then every ~8 weeks until 48 weeks, then every ~12 weeks thereafter until confirmed disease progression. Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.

Population: FAS included all randomized patients, analyzed on an ITT basis. Only patients with baseline scores ≤ 90 were included in the analysis.

Time to Second Progression or Death (PFS2)

PFS2 was defined as the time from randomization to the time of the second progression or death. The date of second progression was recorded by the investigator and defined according to local standard clinical practice, and could have involved any of the following: objective radiological, symptomatic progression, or death. RECIST assessments were not collected for assessment of PFS2. PFS2 was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

Time frame: Following confirmed progression, patients were assessed every ~12 weeks until second disease progression. Assessed until 22 Mar 2018 DCO; up to a maximum of approximately 4 years.

Population: FAS included all randomized patients, analyzed on an ITT basis.
