Trial Outcomes & Findings for PD-L1 Inhibition as ChecKpoint Immunotherapy for NeuroEndocrine Phenotype Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT03179410)

NCT ID: NCT03179410

Last Updated: 2021-03-05

Results Overview

Overall response rate is determined by radiographic response assessment utilizing modified Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) using Immune Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (iRECIST 1.1). iRECIST is the modified RECIST 1.1 for immune-based therapeutics, to measure radiographic response rate in men with metastatic prostate cancer. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up, had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. There are five categories overall responses: iCR: immune complete response achieved with disappearance of all target lesions iCPD: immune confirmed progressive disease when there is either 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 iSD: immune stable disease in the absence of CR or PD iUPD: immune unconfirmed progressive disease when PD is unconfirmed NE: not evaluable

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline to end of treatment (approximately 6 months)

Overall response rate is determined by radiographic response assessment utilizing Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.1). Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up, had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. There are four overall response categories: Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target and non-target lesions Progressive Disease (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 Stable Disease (SD): In the absence of CR and PD Unevaluable (NE)

Radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) as determined by PCWG3 and RECISTS1.1 criteria. Radiographic progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.1), 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. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median rPFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve.
