a

All P values were 2-sided. CI = confidence interval; ECOG PS = Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status; HR = hazard ratio; 1 L = first-line treatment setting; 2 L+ = second-line treatment setting and beyond; NA = not applicable; OR = odds ratio; ORR = objective response rate; OS = overall survival; PD-L1 TPS = programmed cell death ligand-1 tumor proportion score; PFS = progression-free survival.

b

Unadjusted OR of objective response.

c

OR of objective response adjusted for age, gender, histology, ECOG PS, PD-L1 TPS, and lines of treatment.

d

Unadjusted HR.

e

HR adjusted for age, gender, histology, ECOG PS, PD-L1 TPS, and lines of treatment.
