Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Response RateFrom first dose of CTX-009 until treatment discontinuation (an average of 16 weeks)Percentage of patients whose best overall response is assessed as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Disease Control RateFrom first dose of CTX-009 until treatment discontinuation (an average of 16 weeks)Percentage of all treated patients whose best overall response was complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) for a minimum of 6 weeks. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease.
Duration of ResponseFrom first date of complete or partial response to first date of disease progression or death (up to 15.4 weeks)Time from the CT or MRI that first confirmed complete (CR) or partial response PR) to the CT or MRI that first confirmed progression of disease progression (PD). Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by CT or MRI: CR: disappearance of all target lesions; PR: \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; PD = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Progression-free SurvivalFrom first dose of CTX-009 to disease progression or death (up to 5.8 months)Time from first dose of CTX-009 to progression of disease or death. Progression of diseases is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
Overall SurvivalFrom first dose of CTX-009 to death (up to 17.8 months)Time from first dose of CTX-009 to death
Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Changes in Clinical AbnormalitiesFrom the first CTX-009 dose to 30 days after the last CTX-009 dose (average 20 weeks) for TEAEs, from the first CTX-009 dose to 60 days after the last CTX-009 dose (average 25 weeks) for lab tests, vital signs, and ECGs.TEAE is defined by occurrence of an adverse event that started or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of CTX-009 through 30 days after the last dose of CTX-009. Change in clinical abnormalities is defined as an increase in abnormality grade in a laboratory result, vital sign, or ECG parameter from predose result to worst postdose result (graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v5.0 for all analytes except for brain natriuretic peptide and troponin subtypes, which are interpreted in reference to the laboratory reference range for each), a post-baseline potentially clinically significant vital sign abnormality, or a post-baseline potentially clinically significant ECG abnormality.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The protocol required enrolment of approximately 40 (minimum of 37) response evaluable participants. A total of 49 participants were enrolled in Stage 1, yielding 40 response evaluable participants. The study results did not meet the protocol-defined criterion for progression to Stage 2, and thus enrollment ended after Stage 1.
