What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to Progression (TTP) Following CS1008 in Combination With Sorafenib Compared to Sorafenib Alone in Participants With Advanced Liver Cancer
Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 2 years post-dose.
Time to progression was defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first objective documentation of radiographic or symptomatic progression, whichever came first.
Baseline up to approximately 2 years post-dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival Following CS1008 in Combination With Sorafenib Compared to Sorafenib Alone in Participants With Advanced Liver Cancer
Time Frame: Baseline up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to the date of death. The factors in the final model were treatment, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, presence of extrahepatic metastasis and/or macrovessel invasion, and region.
Baseline up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
Best Overall Response and Objective Response Rate Following CS1008 in Combination With Sorafenib Compared to Sorafenib Alone in Participants With Advanced Liver Cancer
Time Frame: Baseline up to disease progression, death, lost to follow up, or study discontinuation (whichever comes first), up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
The best overall response is the best response (in the order of confirmed complete response [CR], confirmed partial response [PR], unconfirmed CR, unconfirmed PR, stable disease [SD], and progressive disease [PD]) among all overall responses recorded from the start of treatment until the participant withdraws from the study based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. If there is no tumor assessment after the first dose of study drug, the best overall response is classified as Inevaluable. CR was defined as a disappearance of all target lesions, PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, and SD was defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions. Objective response rate was defined as confirmed CR and confirmed PR.
Baseline up to disease progression, death, lost to follow up, or study discontinuation (whichever comes first), up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Following CS1008 in Combination With Sorafenib Compared to Sorafenib Alone in Participants With Advanced Liver Cancer
Time Frame: Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) were defined as those adverse events (AEs) that occurred, having been absent before the study, or worsened in severity after the initiation of study treatment administration. An AE that occurred more than 30 days after the last dose of study medication was not included as a TEAE unless it was considered related to treatment or the assessment of relatedness was missing.
Baseline up to 30 days after last dose, up to approximately 3 years 2 months post-dose.
