a

Theta (θ) and kappa (γ) represented two parameters of log-logistic distribution.

b

The OS HR and PFS HR for AEP vs DEP were generated using network meta-analysis.

c

Lambda (λ) and gamma (γ) represented two parameters of Weibull distribution.

AEP, atezolizumab combined with etoposide and platinum; DEP, durvalumab combined with etoposide and platinum; EP, etoposide plus platinum; OS, overall survival; PFS, progression-free survival; PS, progressed survival.
