CheckMate 017 and 057 study designs
a
The protocols of both studies were amended in September 2016, when minimum follow-up was approximately 2.5 years, allowing patients to switch to nivolumab 480 mg Q4W starting 2 weeks after their last 3-
mg/kg Q2W dose;
b
After completion of the primary analyses,
3,4
patients in the docetaxel arms who ended treatment at any time during the studies were allowed to cross over to nivolumab
ALK = anaplastic lymphoma kinase; ECOG PS = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; EGFR = epidermal growth factor receptor; IV = intravenous; LCSS = Lung Cancer Symptom Scale; ORR =
objective response rate; PFS = progression-free survival; Q3W = every 3 weeks; TKI = tyrosine kinase inhibitor
Nivolumab 3 mg/kg IV Q2W
until progressive disease or
unacceptable toxicity

Docetaxel 75 mg/m

IV Q3W
