Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Recurrence-free Survival (RFS)up to 36 monthsRFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma, or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)up to 106.6 monthsOS is defined as as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death.

Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Evaluationup to 36 monthsHRQoL was measured by mean changes from baseline in EORTC-QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL composite scale and in remaining EORTC QLQ-C30 scales in all randomized participants. EORTC QLQ-C30 is the most commonly used QoL instrument in melanoma clinical studies, is a 30-item instrument that has gained wide acceptance in oncology clinical studies and comprises 5 functional scales (physical functioning, cognitive functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning and global quality of life) as well as nine symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Except for the overall health status and global quality of life items, responses for all items are 4 point categorical scales ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The overall health status/quality of life responses are 7-point Likert scales for which higher score reflects higher health status/quality of life for the 7-point Likert scale.
The Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Measured by the Incidence of Laboratory Abnormalitiesreported after first dose and within 30 days of last dose of the study therapyThe Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab measured by the incidence of Laboratory abnormalities.

Recurrence-free Survival (RFS)

RFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma, or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.

Time frame: up to 114 months

Population: All randomized participants
