Study design: The ADRIATIC study was a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, global study that assessed IMFINZI ± tremelimumab as consolidation treatment for patients with LS-SCLC who had not progressed after cCRT. Eligible patients had medically inoperable Stage I-III LS-SCLC and a WHO performance status of 0 or 1, and had not progressed after cCRT. PCI was permitted before randomization. Patients were randomized 1-42 days after completion of cCRT to IMFINZI 1500 mg + placebo, IMFINZI 1500 mg + tremelimumab 75 mg, or placebo + placebo Q4W for 4 cycles, followed by IMFINZI (IMFINZI ± tremelimumab arms) or placebo Q4W until investigator-determined progression, an intolerable toxicity, or for a maximum of 24 months. The first 600 patients were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio; subsequent patients were randomly assigned 1:1 to IMFINZI or placebo. Randomization was stratified by Stage (I/II vs III) and receipt of PCI (yes vs no). The dual primary endpoints were OS and PFS (BICR per RECIST v1.1) for IMFINZI vs placebo. OS and PFS for IMFINZI + tremelimumab vs placebo were alpha-controlled secondary endpoints and remain blinded until the next analysis.1,2
*Patients must have demonstrated CR, PR, or SD, and have not progressed following cCRT.2
†60 to 66 Gy once daily (QD) over 6 weeks or 45 Gy twice daily (BID) over 3 weeks.1
‡Infuse IMFINZI for up to 24 months or until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.1
§The preferred method of assessment in ADRIATIC for all lesions was computed tomography, except for brain lesions, where MRI was the preferred method of assessment. Non-target lesions were also assessed by: MRI, plain x-ray, or chest x-ray. New lesions were also assessed by: MRI, plain x-ray, chest x-ray, bone scan, or ultrasound.2
