Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • To compare the overall survival (OS) in the Intention-to-Treat (ITT) population following treatment with tislelizumab vs. investigator chosen chemotherapy (ICC) when given as second line treatment in patients with advanced unresectable/metastatic Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) ;Secondary Objective: Key Secondary Objective: •To compare the OS in programmed cell death protein ligand-1 (PD-L1) positive population following treatment with tislelizumab versus investigator chosen chemotherapy (ICC) Other Secondary Objectives: •The following will be compared between tislelizumab and ICC based on assessment by Investigator per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 criteria: o Progression-free survival (PFS) o Duration of response (DOR) • To compare patient reported outcomes of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between the tislelizumab and the chemotherapy treatments • To compare the safety and tolerability between tislelizumab and the chemotherapy treatments ;Primary end point(s): • OS in the ITT analysis set- defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause in all randomized patients ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The final analysis of OS will occur at approximately 3 years

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Key Secondary Endpoint: • OS in the PD-L1 positive analysis set - defined as the time from the date of randomization until the date of death due to any cause in the PDL1 positive population Other Secondary Endpoints: • ORR in both the ITT analysis set and the PD-L1 positive analysis set - defined as the proportion of patients who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) assessed by the Investigators per RECIST v1.1 • PFS in both the ITT analysis set and the PD-L1 positive analysis set - defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first documentation of disease progression assessed by the Investigators per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever occurs first • DOR in both the ITT analysis set and the PD-L1 positive analysis set - defined as the time from the first determination of an objective response until the first documentation of progression assessed by the Investigators per RECIST v1.1 or death, whichever comes first • HRQoL assessment • The incidence and severity of adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: ORR as assessed by investigator PFS as assessed by investigator DOR as assessed by investigator HRQoL as assessed by European EORTC QLQ-C30 index, the European esophageal cancer specific module OES18, and the EQ-5D-5L. Incidence and severity of adverse events according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0
