Participant Flow

1,301 participants were randomized (SOC arm=654 and Pembrolizumab arm=647). On the SOC arm, 40 participants assigned to HD-IFN didn't receive intervention (36 due to refusal and 4 due to other reasons) and 49 participants assigned to ipilimumab did not receive intervention (41 due to refusal, 2 due to early progression, and 6 due to other reasons). 8 participants assigned to Pembrolizumab didn't receive intervention (4 due to refusal, 2 due to early progression, and 2 due to other reasons).

Measure
FDA Approved Regimen (SOC)
Participants receive physician/patient choice of either high-dose recombinant interferon alfa-2B (HD-IFN) or Ipilimumab as follows: HD-IFN Induction: IV over 20 mins on days 1-5. Tx repeats weekly for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance: SC on days 1, 3, and 5. Tx repeats every 6 weeks for up to 48 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Ipilimumab Induction: IV over 90 mins on day 1. Tx repeats every 3 weeks for a total of 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance: IV over 90 mins on day 1. Tx repeats every 12 weeks for 3 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab)
Participants receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 52 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

FDA Approved Regimen
n=565 participants at risk
Participants receive physician/patient choice of either high-dose recombinant interferon alfa-2B (HD-IFN) or Ipilimumab as follows: HD-IFN Induction: IV over 20 mins on days 1-5. Tx repeats weekly for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance: SC on days 1, 3, and 5. Tx repeats every 6 weeks for up to 48 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Ipilimumab Induction: IV over 90 mins on day 1. Tx repeats every 3 weeks for a total of 4 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Maintenance: IV over 90 mins on day 1. Tx repeats every 12 weeks for 3 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 89 participants did not receive ant protocol treatment and were not evaluable for adverse events, however they were included in the All-Cause Mortality "at Risk" population.
MK-3475 (Pembrolizumab)
n=639 participants at risk
Participants receive pembrolizumab IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 52 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. 8 participants did not receive ant protocol treatment and were not evaluable for adverse events, however they were included in the All-Cause Mortality "at Risk" population.
