What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS); PD-L1 (TC >=25%) Analysis Set Population, Durvalumab Monotherapy Vs SoC Chemotherapy and Durvalumab + Tremelimumab Vs SoC Chemotherapy
The OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause (ie, date of death or censoring - date of randomization + 1). Any participant not known to have died at the time of analysis were censored based on the last recorded date on which the participant was known to be alive. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
Measured: From baseline (Day 1, Week 0) until death due to any cause, assessed up to the data cut-off date (a maximum of approximately 3 years).
Progression-Free Survival (PFS); PD-L1 (TC >=25%) Analysis Set Population, Durvalumab + Tremelimumab Vs SoC Chemotherapy
The PFS per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) using blinded independent central review (BICR) assessments was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdraw from randomized therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression (ie, date of PFS event or censoring - date of randomization + 1). Progressive disease (PD) was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (TLs) and an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeter (mm), taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters since treatment started including the baseline sum of diameters. Median PFS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.
Measured: Tumour scans performed at baseline then every 6 weeks up to 48 weeks relative to the date of randomization, then every 8 weeks thereafter until confirmed disease progression. Assessed up to the data cut-off date (a maximum of approximately 3 years).

The PFS2 was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest of the progression events (subsequent to that used for the primary variable PFS and excluding any confirmation of progression scans performed for first progression) or death (ie, date of PFS2 event or censoring - date of randomization + 1). The second progression event was determined by local standard clinical practice which may have included any of the following: objective radiological imaging, symptomatic progression, or death.
Measured: Tumour scans performed at baseline then every 6 weeks up to Week 48, then every 8 weeks thereafter until 1st progression. Disease then assessed per local practice until 2nd progression. Assessed up to data cut-off date (maximum of approximately 3 years).
Change From Baseline in Disease-Related Symptoms as Assessed by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ) at 12 Months
Patient reported outcomes for 5 disease related symptoms was assessed using the EORTC QLQ-Core 30 (C30) items questionnaire (fatigue and appetite loss) and the EORTC QLQ-Lung Cancer module 13 (LC13) (dysponea, cough and chest pain). 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 were indicated by a negative change in score from baseline. A positive change in score from baseline indicated a deterioration of symptoms. A minimum clinically meaningful change is defined as an absolute change in the score from baseline of >=10.
Measured: At baseline then every 4 weeks for the first 8 weeks relative to the date of randomization, then every 8 weeks until second progression/death, whichever comes first. Assessed up to 12 months.
Serum Concentrations of Durvalumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the serum concentration of durvalumab.
Measured: Pre-dose and within 1 hour after end of infusion at Week 0, 12 and 24, and at follow-up Month 3.
Serum Concentrations of Tremelimumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the serum concentration of tremelimumab.
Measured: Pre-dose and within 1 hour after end of infusion at Week 0 and 12, and at follow-up Month 3.
Maximum Serum Concentration at Steady State (Cmax_ss) of Durvalumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the Cmax_ss of durvalumab. Steady state was defined as Cycle 4 (Week 12). PK parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods.
Measured: Within 1 hour after end of infusion on infusion day at Week 12.
Cmax_ss of Tremelimumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the Cmax_ss of tremelimumab. Steady state was defined as Cycle 4 (Week 12). PK parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods.
Measured: Within 1 hour after end of infusion on infusion day at Week 12.
Trough Serum Concentration at Steady State (Ctrough_ss) of Durvalumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the Ctrough_ss of durvalumab. Steady state was defined as Cycle 4 (Week 12). PK parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods.
Measured: Pre-dose at Week 12.
Ctrough_ss of Tremelimumab
Blood samples were collected to determine the Ctrough_ss of tremelimumab. Steady state was defined as Cycle 4 (Week 12). PK parameters were determined using standard non-compartmental methods.
Measured: Pre-dose at Week 12.
Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) Response to Durvalumab
Blood samples were measured for the presence of ADAs and ADA-neutralizing antibodies (nAb) for durvalumab using validated assays. Tiered analysis was performed to include screening, confirmatory, and titer assay components, and positive-negative cut points previously statistically determined from drug-naïve validation samples were employed. Immunogenicity results were analyzed by summarizing the number of participants who developed detectable ADAs against durvalumab. Persistently positive is defined as having at least 2 post-baseline ADA positive measurements with at least 16 weeks (112 days) between the first and last positive measurements, or an ADA positive result at the last available assessment. Transiently positive is defined as having at least one post-baseline ADA positive measurement and not fulfilling the conditions for persistently positive.
Measured: At Weeks 0, 12, and 24; 3 and 6 months after last dose of study treatment.
