Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment

Active Comparator: Tislelizumab in Combination with Platinum-based Chemotherapy
Tislelizumab will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks. Treatment will continue until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The maximum treatment duration for Tislelizumab will be 2 years.
Carboplatin will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks. Carboplatin treatment will be administered for up to 4 cycles.
Cisplatin will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks. Cisplatin treatment will be administered for up to 4 cycles.
Etoposide will be administered intravenously once every 3 weeks. Etoposide treatment will be administered for up to 4 cycles.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall survival (OS)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 36 months
OS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause.
Up to approximately 36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 36 months
PFS is defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of first documented progressive disease (PD) based on investigator assessment, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to approximately 36 months
Objective response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 36 months
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieved complete response or partial response as assessed according to RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Up to approximately 36 months
Duration of response (DOR)
Time Frame: Up to approximately 36 months
DOR is defined as the duration from the first documented objective response to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to approximately 36 months
Disease control rate (DCR)

Time Frame: Up to approximately 36 months

TEAEs are defined as any adverse event (AE) that occurs after the initiation of study treatment, or any pre-existing condition that worsens in severity or frequency after the initiation of study treatment, regardless of the causal relationship to the study treatment.

TEAEs will be graded and summarized by type, frequency, and severity according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 6.0.

Up to approximately 36 months
