Table 1 Challenge questions and metrics used for performance evaluation [23]

From: A community challenge to predict clinical outcomes after immune checkpoint blockade in non-small cell lung cancer

Sub-challenge

Challenge Question

BM

Primary Metrica for Performance Evaluation

PFS

(Sub-challenge 1)

PFS/OS sub-challenges: Predict response to nivolumab, in terms of PFS/OS, via an immune checkpoint-specific model using clinical, demographic, and gene expression data

PFS/OS Harrel’s C-index

DSS BM of PFS/OS between the nivolumab and chemotherapy arms

OS

(Sub-challenge 2)

BOR

(Sub-challenge 3)

BOR sub-challenge: Predict which patients will not respond and have a BOR of PD

ROC-AUC

DSS BM of BOR between the nivolumab and chemotherapy arms

  1. AUC area under the curve, BOR best overall response, C-index concordance index, DSS BM difference in squared scaled basal metrics, OS overall survival, PD progressive disease, PFS progression-free survival, ROC receiver operating characteristic
  2. aThe computing of the primary metric from the BM is shown in Additional file 1: Fig. S1
