  1. The safety population includes all randomized patients who received at least one dose of any study drug. The events are listed in descending order of frequency in the cemiplimab plus chemotherapy arm. Events were coded according to the Preferred Terms of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities version 22.1. Severity of adverse events was graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03.
  2. aThe events are listed in descending order of frequency in the cemiplimab + chemotherapy group.
