Adjustments

QoL Comment
QoL was one of the secondary endpoints. Time to deterioration of global QoL significantly improved HR 0.77 (95%CI 0.62-0.96)
Toxicity Comment
Statistically significantly less toxicities affecting the daily well-being (considering as such: diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, pruritus, decreased appetite, asthenia, fatigue, pyrexia and cough we have 28/388 AEs in durvalumab vs 54/374 AEs in sorafenib, Fisher's exact p=0.0015)
QoL or Toxicity non-inferiority or superiority in PFS/OS
Improved global quality of life and toxicity
