Nivolumab was tabulated separately since it was the only ICPI which showed OS difference between squamous- and non-squamous histology. Nivo, Atezo and Pembro demonstrated AEs gr ¾ of < 20%, maintained/or improved the QoL and carried no black box warnings. The adverse events treatment costs (AEsTC) represented a small and insignificant fraction of drug costs and were not included in drug costs. The C/LYG were weighed relative to $100,000. Relative values (RV) were computed as $100,000/C/LYG
