NCT ID: NCT04489940

Last Updated: 2023-04-10

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from first study intervention up to 321 days

Population: As per changes in planned analysis, the outcome measure related to efficacy were not assessed.

The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed objective response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1 as assessed by IRC. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline in sum of longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From first documented objective response to PD or death due to any cause, assessed up to 321 days

Population: As per changes in planned analysis, the outcome measure related to efficacy were not assessed.

DOR was defined for participants with a confirmed objective response as the time from first documentation of a confirmed objective response (CR or PR) according to RECIST 1.1 to the date of first documentation of objective PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30 percent (%) reduction from baseline in sum of longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. PD: At least a 20 percent (%) increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. DOR was determined according to RECIST v1.1 and assessed by IRC.

Timeframe: Time from first study intervention up to until the first documentation of PD or death, assessed up to 321 days

Population: As per changes in planned analysis, the outcome measure related to efficacy were not assessed.

PFS was defined as the time from first study intervention until the first documentation of PD or death due to any cause in the absence of documented PD, whichever occurred first. PD: At least a 20% increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. The tumor response was determined according to RECIST version 1.1 and assessed by the IRC.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Time from first study intervention up to 321 days

Population: The Safety Analysis Set (SAF) analysis set included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study intervention.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Serious AE was defined AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAE was defined as events with onset date or worsening during the on-treatment period. TEAEs included serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs. The AESIs considered in this study are infusion-related reactions including immediate hypersensitivity, immune-related adverse events, skin adverse events, bleeding events and anemia.
