Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Primary Cohort: Overall Survival (OS) Censored at 138 Deaths (ITT Set) OS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), with censoring at the date when 138 deaths were reached in the Primary Cohort in the FAS. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of final analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the primary analysis data cut. Subjects were followed from date of randomization to the date of death by any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months. Analysis conducted when 138 deaths reached in the Primary Cohort in the FAS.
Primary Primary Cohort: OS (All Data, FAS) For all treated subjects, OS was calculated using KM methods with 95% CIs. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of the analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the final analysis data cut. Subjects followed for survival from date of randomization until lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months.
Primary 2nd-line Cohort: OS (All Data, FAS) For all treated subjects, OS was calculated using KM methods with 70% CIs. Subjects without documentation of death at the time of the analysis were censored as of the date the subject was last known to be alive on/prior to the final analysis cut. 70% CIs were selected to provide an 80% probability to rule out differences in median survival less than -2.4 months between the 2nd-line Cohort: Chemotherapy arm and the 2nd-line Cohort: Cy/GVAX + CRS-207 and 2nd-line Cohort: CRS-207 arms, based upon the assumptions made in the statistical analysis plan (SAP). Subjects followed for survival from date of randomization until lost to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, or death, whichever came first, assessed up to 32 months.
Secondary Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Each Treatment Arm Treatment Regimen Safety was assessed based upon the number of adverse events (AEs) that occurred in the FAS of each treatment arm, including serious AEs and total AEs. Total AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs. From the start of the first study drug administration on Day 1, Week 1, through 28 days after the last study drug dose, assessed up to 32 months from the date of randomization.
