Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To determine if axicabtagene ciloleucel is superior to SOC as measured by event-free survival (EFS), as determined by blinded central review;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the effect of axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to SOC on objective response rate (ORR), as determined by blinded central review - To evaluate the effect of axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to SOC on overall survival (OS) - To evaluate the effect of axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to SOC on progression-free survival (PFS) - To evaluate the effect of axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to SOC on duration of response (DOR) and duration of complete response among responding subjects as determined by blinded central review - To evaluate the safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel compared to SOC - To evaluate the effect of axicabtagene ciloleucel on patient reported outcomes (PROs) and quality of life (QoL) compared to SOC ;Primary end point(s): Event Free Survival (EFS): EFS is defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date of disease progression per the Lugano Classification, commencement of new lymphoma therapy, or death from any cause. Subjects not meeting the criteria for these events by the analysis data cutoff date will be censored. For the primary analysis of EFS, disease progression events and censoring times will be determined by blinded central review. Events of new therapy and death will be based on the clinical trial database.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary analysis of EFS will be conducted when all subjects have had the opportunity to be followed to the Month 9 disease assessment, and approximately 250 EFS events have been observed. The acceptable lower limit for the observed total EFS events is 225, which is to maintain the power for the primary analysis of EFS to within 5% of the targeted 90%. If more than 250 EFS events are observed at the time of the data cutoff for the primary analysis, all observed events will be used in the

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Key secondary endpoints (in order of hierarchical testing) • Objective response rate • Overall survival Secondary endpoints • EFS based on investigator disease assessments • Modified EFS based on blinded central review and on investigator disease assessments • Progression-free survival • Duration of response and complete response • Incidence of adverse events and clinically significant changes in safety lab values including antibodies to axicabtagene ciloleucel • Changes from screening to post baseline in the global health status QoL scale and the physical functioning domain of the EORTC QLQ-C30 • Changes from screening to post baseline in the EQ-5D-5L index and VAS scores ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ORR is defined as the incidence of either a complete response or a partial response by the Lugano Classification as determined by blinded central review. Modified EFS is defined the same way as EFS, except that failure to attain CR or PR by Day 150 assessment is not considered as an event. OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. Subjects who have not died by the analysis data cutoff date will have survival time censored at their last date known to be alive. For subjects alive or dead after the data cutoff date, survival time will be censored at the data cutoff date. EFS, PFS, DOR timepoints of evaluation can be found in section 10.2.3. of the protocol.
