Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST v1.1 by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)Up to 24 monthsProportion of subjects who have a complete or partial response relative to baseline as assessed by BICR according to RECIST v1.1.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival (OS)Up to 24 monthsOS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.
Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1Up to 24 monthsPFS is defined as the time from randomization till the first documented disease progression (Per RECIST v1.1 assessed by the investigator) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Duration of Response (DOR) assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1Up to 24 monthsDOR means time measured from the date of partial or complete response to therapy until the cancer progresses based on RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Time to Response (TTR) assessed by investigator per RECIST v1.1Up to 24 monthsTTR refers to Time to Response.
Number of participants with adverse event (AE)Up to 24 monthsThe number of participants experiencing an Adverse Event (AE) and the severity of AEs will be assessed. AE refers to any untoward medical occurrence or deterioration of existing medical event after the subject signed the ICF, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
