Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase Ib: Recommended Phase II Dose (RP2D) | Up to approximately 24 months | The RP2D is defined as the dose level chosen by the sponsor (in consultation with the investigators) for phase II study, based on safety, tolerability, efficacy, PK, and PD data collected during the dose escalation study of BL-ARC002. |
| Phase Ia: Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) | Up to 42 days after the first dose | MTD is defined as the highest dose level at which no more than 1 in 6 participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle. |
| Phase Ia: Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) | Up to 42 days after the first dose | DLTs are assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 during the first cycle and defined as occurrence of any of the toxicities in DLT definition if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) | Up to approximately 24 months | TEAE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally emerging, or any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a pre-existing condition during the treatment of BL-ARC002. The type, frequency and severity of TEAE will be evaluated during the treatment of BL-ARC002. |
| Cmax | Up to approximately 24 months | Cmax is defined as the maximum observed drug concentration in plasma after administration. |
| Tmax | Up to approximately 24 months | Tmax is defined as the time required to reach the maximum drug concentration in plasma following drug administration. |
| T1/2 | Up to approximately 24 months | T1/2 is defined as the time required for the plasma concentration of a drug to decrease by 50% during the elimination phase. |
| AUC0-t | Up to approximately 24 months | AUC0-t is defined as area under the serum concentration-time curve from time 0 to the time of the last measurable concentration. |
| CL (Clearance) | Up to approximately 24 months | Clearance (CL) is the volume of plasma from which a drug is completely removed per unit time. |
| Ctrough | Up to approximately 24 months | Ctrough is defined as the lowest serum concentration prior to the next dose will be administered. |
| ADA (anti-drug antibody) | Up to approximately 24 months | Frequency of anti-BL-ARC002 antibody (ADA) will be investigated. |
| Radiation Characteristics | Up to approximately 24 months | Radiation characteristics refer to the comprehensive set of physical and biological parameters that describe the deposition, distribution, and biological consequences of ionizing radiation in clinical trials, encompassing both dosimetric metrics and associated toxicity profiles. |
| Phase Ib: Objective Response Rate (ORR) | Up to approximately 24 months | ORR is defined as the percentage of participants, who has a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). The percentage of participants who experiences a confirmed CR or PR is according to RECIST 1.1. |
| Phase Ib: Disease Control Rate (DCR) | Up to approximately 24 months | The DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who has a CR, PR, or Stable Disease (SD: neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease \[PD: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD\]). |
| Phase Ib: Duration of Response (DOR) | Up to approximately 24 months | The DOR for a responder is defined as the time from the participant's initial objective response to the first date of either disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. |
