SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 years

Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 will be used for adverse event grading. Attributions of causality will be assessed by the primary treating physician. Frequency and severity of adverse events and tolerability of the regimen will be collected and summarized by descriptive statistics for each of the disease cohorts.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Measured by immunohistochemistry, including tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and T cell receptor (TCR) immunosequencing (immunoSEQ) and relationship to clinical outcomes, including response rate. TCR immunoSEQ data will be summarized for each patient for T-cell clonality difference, descriptive statistics and confidence interval will be obtained across patients.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Up to 2 years

Measured using 10-color 65 marker multiplex Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act-certified IMMUNOME flow cytometry profile on peripheral blood samples. For immune cell subpopulation data by flow cytometry, will identify differences between the paired peripheral blood mononuclear cell samples from the same patients.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Baseline up to 2 years

Will evaluate correlation with clinical response. A bivariate plot will be used to describe the relationship between response rate and peak VEGF via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay over time.
