Baseline Characteristics

Of the 139 eligible enrolled patients, 113 were in the Single group (81.3%) and 26 were in the Dual group (18.7%). The median age was 71 years (range: 43-86); 115 (82.7%) patients were male, while 24 (17.3%) were female. The ECOG-PS scores were 0 in 34 patients (24.5%), 1 in 91 patients (65.5%), 2 in 12 patients (8.6%), and 3 in two patients (1.4%). The tissue types were adenocarcinoma in 78 (56.1%), squamous cell carcinoma in 48 (34.5%), large cell carcinoma in one (0.7%), and NOS (not otherwise specified) in nine (6.5%) patients. Driver mutations were identified in 12 (8.6%), while EGFR mutations were identified in three patients (2.2%). The PD-L1 TPS was 1-20% in 94 patients (67.6%), 21-49% in 40 (27.8%). The Dual group included more patients with better ECOG-PS or driver mutations and was statistically significant. For the other factors, there were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics between the Single and Dual groups. The Single group included 11 patients (9.7%) treated with the IMpower 130 regimen (atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin plus nab-paclitaxel), three (2.7%) with the IMpower 132 regimen (atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin/cisplatin plus pemetrexed), 20 (17.7%) with the IMpower 150 regimen (atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel plus bevacizumab), 43 (38.1%) with the KEYNOTE-189 regimen (pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin/cisplatin plus pemetrexed), 34 (30.1%) with the KEYNOTE-407 regimen (pembrolizumab in combination with carboplatin plus paclitaxel/nab-paclitaxel), and two (1.8%) with the other regimens (atezolizumab in combination with carboplatin plus pemetrexed plus bevacizumab). In the Dual group, 17 patients (65.4%) were treated with the CheckMate 9LA regimen (nivolumab plus ipilimumab with chemotherapy), and nine (34.6%) with the CheckMate 227 regimen (nivolumab plus ipilimumab). The median observation period for the Single and Dual groups were 12.2 months and 12.6 months, respectively. The median duration of treatment for the Single and Dual groups was 3.9 and 3.4 months , respectively.

Participant flow

Patients who met the eligibility criteria were continuously enrolled in the study.

Adverse events

None

Outcome measures

OS was the primary endpoint, while PFS was the secondary endpoint in the population, as stratified by PD-L1 TPS in the single- and dual-therapy groups.
