- Recurrence-free Survival (RFS) [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]RFS is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of first recurrence (local, regional or distant metastasis), new primary melanoma, or death (whatever the cause), whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: up to 60 months ]OS is defined as as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death.
- The Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Measured by the Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: reported between first dose and 30 days after last dose of study therapy ]the safety and tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab was measured by the incidence of adverse events
- The Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Measured by the Incidence of Serious Adverse Events [ Time Frame: reported between the first dose and 30 days after last dose of study therapy ]The Safety and Tolerability of nivolumab and ipilimumab was measured by the incidence of serious adverse events
- the Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Measured by the Incidence of Deaths [ Time Frame: reported between first dose and 30 to 100 days after last dose of study therapy ]the safety and tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab wasmeasured by the incidence of Deaths
- The Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab Measured by the Incidence of Laboratory Abnormalities [ Time Frame: reported after first dose and within 30 days of last dose of the study therapy ]The Safety and Tolerability of Nivolumab and Ipilimumab measured by the incidence of Laboratory abnormalities.
- Recurrence-free Survival by PD-L1 Expression [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]Recurrence-free survival by PD-L1 Expression(5% tumor cell membrane expression)
- Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) Evaluation [ Time Frame: up to 36 months ]
HRQoL was measured by mean changes from baseline in EORTC-QLQ-C30 global health status/QoL composite scale and in remaining EORTC QLQ-C30 scales in all randomized participants.
EORTC QLQ-C30 is the most commonly used QoL instrument in melanoma clinical studies, is a 30-item instrument that has gained wide acceptance in oncology clinical studies and comprises 5 functional scales (physical functioning, cognitive functioning, emotional functioning, social functioning and global quality of life) as well as nine symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea/vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Except for the overall health status and global quality of life items, responses for all items are 4 point categorical scales ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The overall health status/quality of life responses are 7-point Likert scales for which higher score reflects higher health status/quality of life for the 7-point Likert scale.
