Data are given as number (percentage) unless stated otherwise. CMR and PMR rates may not sum to ORR because of rounding. Patients who withdrew consent during the study or who proceeded to follow-up after induction were included for response assessment.

NMR, no metabolic response; PMD, progressive metabolic disease; PMR, partial metabolic response.

One patient discontinued because of study drug toxicity after 2 cycles of induction with nivolumab plus BV.
