However, many patients randomized to chemotherapy received subsequent immunotherapy. Here, overall survival (OS) and relative OS benefit of nivolumab-plus-ipilimumab were adjusted for potential bias introduced by treatment switching. Treatment-switching adjustment analyses were conducted following the NICE Decision Support Unit Technical Support Document 16, for CheckMate 227 Part 1 OS data from treated patients (database lock, July 2, 2019). Inverse probability of censoring weighting (IPCW) was used in the base-case analysis; other methods were explored as sensitivity analyses.
