Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Patients with Dose-limiting ToxicitiesBaseline up to 21 DaysA DLT is defined as an AE that meets at least one of the criteria listed in protocol, according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) common terminology criteria for AE (CTCAE) version 5.0, and is considered by the Investigator to be clinically relevant and attributed to the study treatment during the first 21 days after the first dose of study treatment.
Number of Patients with Adverse EventsApproximately 24 monthsNumber of patients with adverse events (AEs) according to severity, seriousness, and relationship to study drug. An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The number of patients who experience at least one AE will be presented.
Number of Patients with Clinically Significant Laboratory AbnormalitiesApproximately 24 monthsNumber of patients with clinically significant change from baseline in laboratory abnormalities as characterized by type, frequency, severity (graded by CTCAE version 5.0) and timing.
Changes in potential pharmacodynamic biomarker CD163 in paired tumor tissue in Patients in the Biopsy Cohort Summary of baseline, post baseline and changes from baseline in CD163Baseline up to 15 days
Changes in potential pharmacodynamic biomarker MMP9 in paired tumor tissue in Patients in the Biopsy Cohort Summary of baseline, post baseline and changes from baseline in MMP9Baseline up to 15 days
Changes in potential pharmacodynamic biomarker CD8 in paired tumor tissue in Patients in the Biopsy Cohort Summary of baseline, post baseline and changes from baseline in CD8Baseline up to 15 days

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Anti-drug Antibodies (ADA) Against NGM438Approximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Incidence and titers of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against NGM438. Will be measured on Day 1 of each cycle through Cycle 6 and every third cycle thereafter.
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of NGM438Approximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Cmax is defined as the observed maximum serum concentration post drug administration. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
Trough Concentrations of NGM438 in Patients in the Biopsy CohortApproximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Trough Concentration refers to the serum concentration of NGM438 observed just before treatment administration. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycle 4 and each cycle thereafter.
Number of Patients in Dose Escalation and Dose Finding Cohorts with Objective ResponsesApproximately 24 monthsObjective Response Rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) divided by the total number of evaluable patients per RECIST v1.1
Area Under the Curve (AUC) of Serum NGM438Approximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Area under the curve from time zero extrapolated to the last time point prior to the next dose. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
Time to Maximum (Tmax) Observed Serum Concentration of NGM438Approximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Tmax is defined as the time to reach the observed maximum serum concentration (Cmax). Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
Half-life (t1/2) of NGM438 in SerumApproximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by one half during the terminal phase. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
Systemic Clearance (CL) of NGM438Approximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.CL is defined as systemic clearance. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
Volume of Distribution (Vss) of NGM438 at Steady StateApproximately 24 months. Each Cycle is 21 days.Vss is defined as the volume of distribution at steady state. Will be measured on Day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15 of Cycles 1 and 3, Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Day 1 of Cycles 4-6 and every third cycle thereafter
