Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Up to 5 years]
PFS is defined as the time from day1 of the study treatment until disease progression or death. Disease progression is defined as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST)1.1 based on computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET) images or assessment of the physician. RECIST v.1.1: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), no response or less response than Partial or Progressive; or Progressive Disease (PD), 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.
- Quantification of the Change in Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) During the Study Treatment. [Up to 2 years]
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are counted before the treatment start and during the treatment. Methods: Blood Sample collection.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Response Rate (ORR) [Up to 2 years]
ORR is defined as the percentage of patients with [compete response (CR) + partial response (PR)] per RECIST1.1 based on computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or positron emission tomography (PET) images. RECIST v.1.1: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions;
- Duration of Response (DOR) [Up to 3 years]
DOR is defined as the time from documentation of tumor response by RECIST1.1 [(CR) + (PR)] to disease progression by RECIST 1.1. It will be measured from when the time measurement criteria are first met for complete response or partial response (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date of progressive disease or death. Patients who neither progress nor die will be censored on the date of their last tumor assessment.
- Disease Control Rate (DCR) [Up to 2 years]
DCR is defined as the percentage of participants, who achieve [compete response (CR) + partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD) per RECIST1.1. If best response is SD, then it must last more than 6 months to be included in calculation of DCR, to be considered to have received clinical benefit from the treatment regimen. RECIST v.1.1: Complete Response (CR), disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), no response or less response than Partial or Progressive; or Progressive Disease (PD), 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.
- Overall Survival (OS) [Up to 3 years]
OS is defined as the time from D1 of study treatment to death from any cause.
- Treatment Associated Toxicity [Up to 3 years]
Treatment Associated Toxicity is defined as the number of participants with Grade 3-4 adverse events associated with study treatment. Adverse Events were classified and graded according to National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4 based on changes in laboratory parameters, vital signs, and other safety assessments per standard of care.
