AdvanTIG-306: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase III Study Evaluating the Efficacy and Safety of Ociperlimab (WCD118/BGB-A1217) Combined With Tislelizumab (VDT482/BGB-A317) Plus Platinum-based Doublet Chemotherapy Versus Placebo Combined With Pembrolizumab Plus Platinum-based Doublet Chemotherapy as First-line Therapy for Participants With Locally Advanced or Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

The primary scientific question of interest is whether the addition of ociperlimab to platinum-based chemotherapy and tislelizumab improve progression-free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS) compared to pembrolizumab and platinum-based chemotherapy as first-line therapy for participants with locally advanced or metastatic squamous or non-squamous NSCLC with PD-L1 expression of ≥1%.

Time to definitive 10-point deterioration in physical and role functioning on the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a questionnaire developed to assess the health-related quality of life of cancer participants.

All of the domain scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale indicates a high and healthy level of functioning but a high score for a symptom scale indicates a high level of symptoms. The time to definitive 10 point deterioration of physical functioning and role functioning is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first onset of ≥10 points increase from baseline (worsening) of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause.

All of the domain scores range from 0 to 100. A high score indicates a high level of symptoms. The time to first 10 point deterioration symptom scores of chest pain, cough and dyspnea is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first onset of ≥10 points increase from baseline (worsening) of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause.

All of the domain scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale indicates a high and healthy level of functioning but a high score for a symptom scale indicates a high level of symptoms. The time to confirmed 10-point deterioration of physical functioning and role functioning is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first onset of≥10 points deterioration from baseline and confirmed by a second consecutive ≥10 points deterioration from baseline, or one assessment followed by death from any cause before the next scheduled data collection.

All of the domain scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale indicates a high and healthy level of functioning but a high score for a symptom scale indicates a high level of symptoms. The time to definitive 10-point deterioration in global health status/quality of life, shortness of breath and pain scores is defined as the time from the date of randomization to first onset of ≥10 points increase from baseline (worsening) of the corresponding scale score, with no later change below this threshold or death due to any cause.

Utility scores of the EQ-5D-5L	EQ-5D-5L is a standardized participant completed questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life and translates that score into an index value or utility score. EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and an optional visual analogue scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile is comprised of 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1= no problems, 2= slight problems, 3= moderate problems, 4= severe problems, and 5= extreme problems. Higher scores indicated greater levels of problems across each of the five dimensions.	Up to 30 months

Time to definitive deterioration of the ECOG performance status	Time to definitive deterioration of the ECOG PS by one category of the score. The ECOG PS is a measure of functional status. It ranges from 0 to 5, with 0 denoting perfect health and 5 death. A deterioration is considered definitive if no improvements in the ECOG PS status is observed at any subsequent time of measurement during the treatment period following the time point where the deterioration is observed.	Up to 30 months
