Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies have become increasingly popular treatment options for patients with cancer, even for patients in non-metastatic settings. Survival and responses have been reported for individual tumor types, but little is known about these outcomes, collectively. We sought to provide an overview of overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in ICI drugs tested in registration trials.In a cross-sectional analysis of US FDA oncology ICI drug approvals (2011-2023), we searched for supporting ICI registration trials. We characterized these trials, regarding differences in median OS and PFS between patients in intervention and control arm participants in ICI registration trials; percentage of patients who receive ICI crossover; and whether there is correlation between the percentage of crossover and differences in OS or PFS.Fifty-six (54.4 %) approvals had trials that reported median OS for both intervention and control arms (median difference was 2.8 months; IQR: 2.2 to 5.0 months). Sixty-five (63.1 %) approvals had trials that reported PFS data for both arms (median of 0.9 months; IQR: -0.2 to 3.0 months). Subsequent therapy was common (median=18.9 %) and was significantly correlated with a higher difference in median OS in all studies with reported differences (R2 =0.15; p = 0.001).ICIs are increasingly used in the treatment of cancer, yet the median OS improvement is modest, and many ICIs have not been tested for OS benefit. OS is the outcome most meaningful for patients, and drug regulation should require better testing and reporting of these data.
