What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (Modified Intent-to-Treat [mITT] Set)

    The PFS per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 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 (PD) or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdrew from therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression. The PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions (TLs) and an absolute increase of >=5 millimeters (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: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    The OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause regardless of whether the participant withdrew from randomized therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy. Median OS was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  2. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (Intent-to-Treat [ITT] Set)

    The PFS per RECIST 1.1 using BICR assessments was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of objective PD or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdrew from therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression. The PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of >=5 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: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  3. Percentage of Participants Alive at 24 Months (OS24)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause regardless of whether the participant withdrew from randomized therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy. The OS24 was defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of OS at 24 months after randomization.

    Measured: Month 24

  4. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    The ORR per RECIST 1.1 using BICR was defined as the percentage of participants with at least 1 visit response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on all participants in the subset of the analysis population including only those participants with measurable disease at baseline per BICR. The CR was defined as disappearance of all TLs since baseline. Any pathological lymph nodes selected as TLs must have a reduction in short axis to <10 mm. The PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of TLs, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters as long as criteria for PD are not met.

    Measured: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  5. Duration of Response (DoR)

    The DoR per RECIST 1.1 using BICR was defined as the time from the date of first documented response until the first date of documented progression or death in the absence of PD. PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of >=5 mm, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters since treatment started including the baseline sum of diameters. The DoR was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  6. Percentage of Participants Alive and Progression-Free at 12 and 18 Months (PFS12 and PFS18)

    The PFS per RECIST 1.1 using BICR assessments was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of objective PD or death (by any cause in the absence of progression) regardless of whether the participant withdrew from therapy or received another anti-cancer therapy prior to progression. The PD was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of >=5 mm, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters since treatment started including the baseline sum of diameters. The PFS12 and PFS18 were defined as the Kaplan-Meier estimate of PFS per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by the Investigator at 12 and 18 months, respectively and both were obtained using the algorithm for the RECIST 1.1 site Investigator tumor data.

    Measured: Months 12 and 18

  7. Time From Randomization to Second Progression (PFS2)

    PFS2 was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the earliest of the progression event subsequent to first subsequent therapy, or death. The date of the second progression was recorded by the Investigator and defined according to local standard clinical practice and could have involved any of objective radiological imaging, symptomatic progression, or death. Median time to PFS2 was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  8. Time to Death or Distant Metastases (TTDM)

    TTDM as per RECIST 1.1 using BICR was defined as the time from the date of randomization until the first date of distant metastasis or death in the absence of distant metastasis. Distant metastasis was defined as any new lesion that was outside of the radiation field according to RECIST 1.1. Median TTDM was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier technique.

    Measured: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)

  9. Serum Concentration of Durvalumab

    Blood samples were collected to determine the concentration of durvalumab.

    Measured: End of infusion on Cycle 1 Day 1, pre-infusion on Cycles 2 and 4 Day 1 and Month 3 follow-up (each cycle=28 days)

  10. Number of Participants With Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) Response to Durvalumab

    Blood samples were collected to determine the presence of ADAs and ADA-neutralizing antibodies (nAb) for durvalumab using validated assays. ADA prevalence was defined as the number of participants with positive ADA result at any time, baseline or post-baseline. ADA incidence was defined as either treatment-induced (post-baseline ADA positive only) or treatment-boosted ADA (baseline positive ADA titer that was boosted to >=4-fold during the study period). Treatment-induced ADA was defined as ADA positive only post-baseline and not detected at baseline. Persistently positive was defined as having at least 2 post-baseline ADA positive assessments with at least 16 weeks between the first and last positive assessment, or ADA positive at the last post-baseline assessment. Transiently positive was defined as having at least 1 post-baseline ADA positive assessment without fulfilling the conditions for persistently positive.

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2 and 4 (each cycle=28 days)

  11. Change From Baseline in Patient-Reported Symptoms as Assessed by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires (EORTC QLQ) at Week 132

    Patient reported outcomes for 5 disease related symptoms was assessed using EORTC QLQ-Core 30 (C30) items questionnaire (fatigue, appetite loss) and EORTC QLQ-Lung Cancer module 13 (LC13) (dyspnoea, cough and pain in chest).An outcome variable consisting of a score from 0 to 100 was derived for each of the symptom scales/symptom items, functional scales, and global health status scale with higher scores on global health status/QoL and functioning scales representing better health status/function, but higher scores on symptom scales/items 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 was defined as change from baseline of >=10. Change from baseline in C30: global health status/QoL, physical functioning, fatigue, appetite loss and LC13: dyspnoea, cough and pain in chest are presented.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Week 132

  12. Number of Participants With Positive Programmed Death Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Status Based on Overall Survival, Progression-Free Survival and Objective Response Rate

    Blood samples will be collected for clinical biomarker testing and a tumor specimen will be collected as per tumor specimen collection requirements. The specimen will be evaluated by immunohistochemistry to determine the expression of tumor specific antigens and immune markers. The PD-L1 is a biomarker and data for number of participants with its positive status will be presented.

    Measured: Up to 9 years

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 87 sites in China, Russia, Philippines, Taiwan, India and 5 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 12 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-Free Survival (PFS) (Modified Intent-to-Treat [mITT] Set) (time frame: Tumor scans performed at screening, every 8 weeks ±1 week up to 48 weeks, and then every 12 weeks ±1 week thereafter until confirmed PD. Assessed up to the DCO date 23-Jun-2024 (a maximum of approximately 2035 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03706690, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
