Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 24 months]
Objective response rate (ORR) will be the proportion of study participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response PR to study therapy as per treating physician evaluation using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [Up to 24 months]
Disease control rate (DCR) is the proportion of patients with confirmed complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as per treating physician evaluation using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1.
- Progression-Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 4 years]
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date that objective progression disease is documented or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
- Overall Survival (OS) [Up to 4 years]
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of death.
- Duration of Response (DOR) [Up to 4 years]
Duration of response is defined as the time from the date of first documented response (CR or PR) until date of documented progression or death in the absence of disease progression.
- Proportion of Study Participants with Treatment-Related Toxicity [Up to 25 months]
The safety profile of the study therapy will be determined by the proportion of study participants experiencing treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs). AEs and SAEs will be tabulated by type, grade, severity, treatment attribution according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
