Study design details

Study design

New user matched cohort study.

Main study objective

The overall aim of this study is to assess the overall survival of patients with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC who initiate first-line treatment with selected immunotherapies (pembrolizumab, atezolizumab, cemiplimab, nivolumab, durvalumab, and ipilimumab) and how it compares to the survival of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC patients treated with chemotherapies as first line.

Data analysis plan

All analyses will be conducted separately for each database, and will be carried out in a federated manner, allowing analyses to be run locally without sharing patient-level data.
First, we will run cohort diagnostics to evaluate data availability and data quality in terms of identification of locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC as well as recording of cancer treatments of interest.
Before sharing the study package, test runs of the analytics will be performed on a subset of the data sources and quality control checks will be performed. After all the tests are passed (see section 10 Quality Control), the final package will be released in a version-controlled study repository for execution against all the participating data sources.
Data partners will locally execute the analytics against the OMOP-CDM in R Studio and review and approve the default aggregated results. They will then be made available to the Principal Investigators and study team in secure online repository (Data Transfer Zone). All results will be locked and timestamped for reproducibility and transparency.
All analyses will be reported by database, overall and stratified by age and sex when possible (minimum cell count reached). Results from objective 1 will further be stratified by calendar year.
