Different expression levels are used to stratify, and we have not included data from this study with respect to PD-1 expression outcomes due to non-availability of similar comparison.
Daca = dacarbazine; ECOG = eastern cooperative oncology group; Ipi = ipilimumab; ICC= investigator choice chemotherapy; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; NR = not reported. Nivo = nivolumab; Pemb1 = pembrolizumab administration every 2 weeks; Pemb2 = q3 administration every 3 weeks; PD= programmed cell death; ULN=upper level of normal. 1 = stratification based on age > 65 years and <65 years.
