  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Nivolumab Arm
Nivolumab 240 mg/body solution intravenously every 2 weeks until documented disease progression, discontinuation due to toxicity, withdrawal of consent or the study ends
Active Comparator: Active Comparator Arm (Docetaxel/Paclitaxel)

Docetaxel: Intravenously administered at a dose of 75 mg/m2 every 2 weeks until documented disease progression, discontinuation due to toxicity, withdrawal of consent or the study ends

OR

Paclitaxel: Intravenously administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 weekly for 6 weeks followed by 2-week drug holiday until documented disease progression, discontinuation due to toxicity, withdrawal of consent or the study ends

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Overall Survival
Time Frame: ("Date of death from any cause" - "Date of randomization" + 1) / 30.4375. For subjects lost to follow-up and subjects who are alive at the time of data cutoff date, data will be censored at the time the subject was last confirmed to be alive.
("Date of death from any cause" - "Date of randomization" + 1) / 30.4375. For subjects lost to follow-up and subjects who are alive at the time of data cutoff date, data will be censored at the time the subject was last confirmed to be alive.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free Survival
Time Frame: ("Earlier date on which either the overall response was assessed as PD or the subject died of any cause" - "Date of randomization" + 1) / 30.4375.
Please refer to the protocol, overall response and best overall response will be determined solely by imaging assessment according to the RECIST Guideline Version 1.1, and will not take into account any clinical/symptomatic progression. Evaluable imaging data will be overall response without an overall response of "Not Evaluable (NE)."
("Earlier date on which either the overall response was assessed as PD or the subject died of any cause" - "Date of randomization" + 1) / 30.4375.
Duration of Response
Time Frame: ("Earlier date on which either the overall response was assessed as PD for the first time after confirmed response or the subject died of any cause" - "Date of first assessment of confirmed CR or PR" + 1) / 30.4375.
Please refer to the protocol, overall response and best overall response will be determined solely by imaging assessment according to the RECIST Guideline Version 1.1, and will not take into account any clinical/symptomatic progression. Evaluable imaging data will be overall response without an overall response of "Not Evaluable (NE)."
("Earlier date on which either the overall response was assessed as PD for the first time after confirmed response or the subject died of any cause" - "Date of first assessment of confirmed CR or PR" + 1) / 30.4375.
