(mAb) administered either as monotherapy or in combination with other therapies

Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Objective Response Rate (ORR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR) |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 39 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | 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) per RECIST 1.1. as assessed by BICR. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Duration of Response (DOR) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 39 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of a CR (disappearance of all target lesions) or a PR (at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions) per RECIST 1.1 until Progressive Disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, in participants demonstrating a CR or PR. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 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 at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. |
Measure: | Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 39 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | PFS is defined as the time from randomization (or first dose) to the first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 assessed by BICR or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Per RECIST 1.1, PD is defined as at least a 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 at least 5 mm. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered PD. |
Measure: | Overall Survival (OS) |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 39 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | OS is defined as the time from randomization (or first dose) to death due to any cause. |
Measure: | Number of participants who experienced an Adverse Event (AE) |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 27 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants with an AE will be reported. |
Measure: | Number of participants discontinuing study treatment due to an AE |
Time Frame: | Up to approximately 24 months |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The number of participants that discontinue study treatment due to an AE will be reported. |
