Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of axatilimab1 yearDetermine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of axatilimab in combination with CAR T cell therapy by following a fast-track dose escalation design and assessing adverse events, using the CTCAE Version 6, related to axatilimab
Estimate 1 year progression-free survival1 yearEstimate 1 year progression-free survival by assessing disease status at 1 year following CAR T infusion

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Estimate overall response rate1 yearEstimate overall response rate (a combination of complete and partial responders) by assessing disease status at 1 year following CAR T infusion
Estimate the overall survival of patients1 yearEstimate the overall survival of patients by following survival status and cause of death for 1 year after CAR T infusion
Evaluate duration of response1 yearEvaluate duration of response by assessing disease status at multiple timepoints (Days +30, 100, 180, and 365) within 1 year after CAR T infusion
Characterize the safety of axatilimab in combination with CAR T therapy1 yearCharacterize the safety of axatilimab in combination with CAR T therapy by assessing the incidence of cytokine release syndrome and immune-effector cell associated neurotoxcity syndrome according to ASTCT consensus criteria
