Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)From first dose to the date of objectively documented progression (per tumor-specific response criteria) or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 24 months)ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Best overall response is defined as the best response designation, as determined by investigator, recorded in the specified timeframe, according to the RECIST 1.1 criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to Objective Response (TTR)From the first dosing date to the date of the first confirmed response (up to approximately 10 months)TTR is defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of the first confirmed response (Complete Response, CR or Partial Response, PR), as assessed by investigator.
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)From the first dosing date to the date of the last dose (approximately 24 months)CBR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) or Stable Disease (SD).
Overall Survival Rate at 1 YearFrom the first dosing date to 1 year laterOverall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from the first dosing date to the date of death. A participant who has not died will be censored at last known date alive. OS rate at 1 year is measured as the percent of participants still alive at 1 year after first dosing, measured from Kaplan-Meier curve of OS.
Number of Participants Who DiedFrom first dose to 100 days following last dose (up approximately 27 months)Number of participants who died for any cause
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs)From first dose to 30 days following the last dose (up to approximately 25 months)Number of participants who experienced any grade, any cause AEs
Number of Participants Experiencing Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)From first dose to 100 days following the last dose (up to approximately 27 months)Number of participants who experienced any grade, any cause SAEs
Duration of Response (DOR)From the time of first confirmed response to the date of the first documented progression (up to approximately 22 months)DOR is defined as the time from first confirmed response (Complete Response, CR or Partial Response, PR) to the date of the first documented tumor progression (as determined by investigator) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Median DOR computed using Kaplan-Meier method
Number of Participants Experiencing Immune-mediated Adverse Events (IMAEs)From first dose to 100 days following the last dose (up to approximately 27 months)Number of participants who experienced IMAEs. IMAEs are AEs consistent with an immune-mediated mechanism or immune-mediated component for which non-inflammatory etiologies (eg, infection or tumor progression) have been ruled out. IMAEs can include events with an alternate etiology which were exacerbated by the induction of autoimmunity.
Number of Participants Experiencing Select Adverse EventsFrom first dose to 30 days following the last dose (up to approximately 25 months)Number of participants who experienced Select Adverse Events. Select Adverse Events categories include: gastrointestinal, hepatic, pulmonary, renal, skin, hypersensitivity/infusion reaction.
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to Dose Delay or Dose ReductionFrom first dose to 30 days following the last dose (up to approximately 25 months)Number of participants who experienced AEs leading to dose delay or dose reduction. A dose will be considered as delayed if the delay is exceeding 3 days after the intended dose date (i.e., greater than or equal to 4 days from scheduled dosing date)
Number of Participants Experiencing Laboratory Abnormalities in Specific Liver TestsFrom first dose to 30 days following the last dose (up to approximately 25 months)Number of participants who experienced the laboratory abnormalities in specific liver tests described in the individual categories. ALT = Alanine Aminotransferase AST = Aspartate Aminotransferase ULN = Upper Limit of Normal
Number of Participants Experiencing Laboratory Abnormalities in Specific Thyroid TestsFrom first dose to 100 days following the last dose (up to approximately 27 months)Number of participants who experienced the laboratory abnormalities in specific thyroid tests described in the individual categories. TSH = Thyroid Stimulating Hormone LLN = Lower Limit of Normal ULN = Upper Limit of Normal
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) Leading to DiscontinuationFrom first dose to 30 days following the last dose (up to approximately 25 months)Number of participants who experienced AEs leading to discontinuation of study therapy
