Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
During the induction phase patients will receive nivolumab at a dose of 1 mg/kg intravenously followed (on the same day) by ipilimumab at a dose of 3 mg/kg intravenously once every 3 weeks for 4 cycles. This is followed by the maintenance phase. During this phase patients will receive nivolumab 240 mg intravenously once every 2 weeks for a maximum of 12 months from start of maintenance phase (no minimum time for the maintenance phase).

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 305540 0
Overall survival
Timepoint [1] 305540 0
From date of randomisation until death from any cause, assessed up to a maximum of 6,5 years
Primary outcome [2] 305541 0
Progression-free survival determined by RECIST 1.1
Timepoint [2] 305541 0
From date of randomisation until documented progression or death, if progression is not documented, assessed up to a maximum of 6,5 years
Secondary outcome [1] 345669 0
Objective response - Objective response is defined as best overall response (CR or PR) across all assessment time-points during the period from randomisation to termination of trial treatment.

Objective response to trial treatment will be determined using RECIST 1.1 criteria
Timepoint [1] 345669 0
From randomisation to termination of trial treatment, up to a maximum of 2 years
CT scans will happen on the following schedule:
• Up to 18 months: every 9 weeks
• Up to 2 years: every 12 weeks

Time to treatment failure defined by discontinuation of treatment for any reason (including progression of disease, treatment toxicity, refusal and death).
Timepoint [2] 345670 0
From date of randomisation until discontinuation of treatment for any reason, assessed up to a maximum of 6.5 years
Secondary outcome [3] 345671 0
Toxicity - toxicity reported by patients and by clinical assessment as assessed through adverse events classified according to NCI CTCAE version 4.
Timepoint [3] 345671 0
During Chemo-radiotherapy AEs will be assessed at baseline and at the end of each cycle of chemo-radiotherapy.
If patient is randomised, AEs will be assessed at randomisation,
Those in the experimental arm: end of each cycle of treatment;
Those in the Observation arm: weeks 9 and 18 and every 18 weeks thereafter;
End of treatment: within 7 days after end-of-treatment visit
100 days period after last treatment / last visit in observation arm.
If patient is not randomised AEs will be assessed at an end-of-treatment visit.
Up to a maximum of 6.5 years
Secondary outcome [4] 347522 0
Objective response to chemo-radiotherapy will be determined by tumour assessment around week 15.
Objective response to trial treatment will be determined using RECIST 1.1 criteria
Timepoint [4] 347522 0
Objective response to chemoradiotherapy this occur around Week 15 (post start of chemoradiotherapy)
