Exclusion Criteria
  • Patients with brain metastasis are excluded, unless they are free of neurologic symptoms related to metastatic brain lesions and do not receive systemic corticosteroid therapy for the purpose of reducing intracranial inflammation in the 10 days prior to beginning retreatment with ipilimumab
  • Any intervening anticancer therapy between last dose of ipilimumab induction and ipilimumab retreatment on study
  • Patients who experienced any grade 3 immune-related adverse event (irAE) (except for endocrinopathies where clinical symptoms were controlled with appropriate hormone replacement therapy) or any grade 4 toxicity during prior treatment with ipilimumab
  • Patients with a prior irAE that has not improved to grade 1 or better at randomization

GroupInterventionDescription
Ipilimumab, 3 mg/kgIpilimumabParticipants received ipilimumab, 3 mg/kg, by intravenous infusion, every 3 weeks for a total of 4 doses or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent
ChemotherapyChemotherapyParticipants received the investigator's choice of chemotherapy, administered per package instructions.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalFrom randomization to death or last known alive date, assessed up to 15.6 months

Overall survival is defined for each patient as the time between randomization and death. If a patient has not died, he or she will be censored at the time of last contact (last known alive date)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Disease Control Rate (DCR)Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

DCR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized participants with best overall response as complete response, partial response, or stable disease, divided by the total number of randomized participants in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined time frame. Thus, no participants were analyzed. Because the study ended before best overall response could be determined, no participants were analyzed.

Best Overall Response Rate (BORR)Every 3 months for approximately 3.5 years after start of randomization and then every 6 months until confirmed and documented progressive disease

BORR is defined per arm as the total number of randomized patients with a best overall response of complete response or partial response, divided by the total number of randomized patients in the arm. Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated this study early because the study would not meet its scientific objective in the predefined timeframe. Because the study ended before best overall response for all patients was defined, no participant data was analyzed.
