Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Objective Response Rate (ORR) ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or a Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Update and Clarification 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) which has been adjusted for this study to include a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The percentage of participants who experience a CR or PR as assessed by blinded independent central review based on RECIST 1.1 will be presented. Up to ~20 months
Secondary Duration of Response (DOR) For participants who demonstrate a confirmed Complete Response (CR: Disappearance of all target lesions) or confirmed Partial Response (PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters) per RECIST 1.1, DOR is defined as the time from first documented evidence of CR or PR until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. RECIST 1.1 has been adjusted for this study to include a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. The DOR as assessed by blinded independent central review based on RECIST 1.1 will be presented. Up to ~47 months
Secondary Progression-free Survival (PFS) PFS is defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as =20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of =5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. RECIST 1.1 has been adjusted for this study to include a maximum of 10 target lesions and a maximum of 5 target lesions per organ. PFS as assessed by blinded independent central review based on RECIST 1.1 will be presented. Up to ~47 months
Secondary Overall Survival (OS) OS is defined as the time from first dose of study treatment to death due to any cause. Up to ~47 months
Secondary Percentage of Participants who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who experience an AE will be reported. Up to ~27 months
Secondary Percentage of Participants who Discontinue Study Treatment due to an AE An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants who discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported. Up to ~24 months
