Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

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
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
ORR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version. 1.1
From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years

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 (OS)
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
OS is determined from the date of treatment to death from any cause or the last follow-up date
From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
PFS is determined from the date of treatment to PD or death from any cause
From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
DCR according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version. 1.1
From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Safety and tolerance will be evaluated by incidence, severity and outcomes of adverse events (AEs) and categorized by severity in accordance with the NCI CTC AE Version 5.0.
From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Quality of Life (QoL)
Time Frame: From Baseline to primary completion date, about 3 years
Quality of life is assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ) C30. It will be evaluated at Screening, Tumor Assessment Visit and End of Treatment visit.
