Inclusion criteria

  • Adult participants (male or female) more than and equal to 18 years of age on the day of signing the ICF.
  • Disease status: Participants with completely resected, - or cytologically-confirmed (Stage II or IIIA) NSCLC
  • Treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy; • Chemotherapy must have begun within 12 weeks after the resection surgery. The last chemotherapy dose must have been completed at least 3 weeks and no more than 12 weeks before the participant is randomized.
  • No evidence of disease (NSCLC) for the post-surgery baseline assessment must be documented by full chest/abdomen/pelvis computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and brain CT/MRI within 12 weeks prior to the randomization date.
  • performance status of 0 or 1.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Surgical-related adverse events (AEs) or chemotherapy-related toxicity not resolved to Grade 1, with the exception of Grade \<=2 alopecia, fatigue, neuropathy, and lack of appetite/nausea.
  • Participants who have received systemic (more than [>] 10 mg prednisone daily or equivalent) or other drugs (such as cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, or tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitors) within 2 weeks prior to the first dose.
  • Participants with known epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-sensitive mutations or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) gene translocations are not allowed.
  • Received prior therapy with an anticytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 mAb (example, ipilimumab); anti-programmed cell death 1 (), anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (Programmed Death-Ligand 1), or anti-programmed cell death ligand 2 (PD-L2) agent; or agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T cell receptor.
  • Participants with any active disease or history of autoimmune diseases including but not limited to autoimmune hepatitis, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, uveitis, enteritis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, and hypothyroidism.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
