Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. Severity will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for adverse events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0. Severity scale ranges from Grade 1 (Mild) to Grade 5 (Death). Grade 1= Mild, Grade 2= Moderate, Grade 3= Severe, Grade 4= Life-threatening and Grade 5= Death related to adverse event.
Up to 2 years 5 months
Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
The DLTs are specific adverse events and are defined as any of the following: non-hematologic toxicity and hematological toxicity.
Up to 2 years 5 months

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
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of JNJ-86974680
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
Cmax is defined as maximum observed plasma concentration of JNJ-86974680.
Up to 2 years 5 months
Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Time t (AUC0-t) of JNJ-86974680
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
(AUC0-t) is defined as area under the plasma concentration of JNJ-86974680 versus time curve from the time of dose administration to time of last quantifiable concentration (0-t).
Up to 2 years 5 months
Part 2: Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1, maintained for at least 4 weeks.
Up to 2 years 5 months
Part 2: Complete Response Rate (CRR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
CRR is defined as the proportion of participants with a best response of CR.
Up to 2 years 5 months
Part 2: Duration of Response (DOR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
DoR is defined as the time from the date of first initial documentation of a response to the date of first documented evidence of progression of disease according to immunotherapy response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (iRECIST) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
Up to 2 years 5 months
Part 2: Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Time Frame: Up to 2 years 5 months
DCR is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a best of response of PR, CR, or stable disease using RECIST v1.1.
Up to 2 years 5 months
