E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) | Objective Response Rate (ORR) by investigator-assessed RECIST v1.1 by measuring change in tumor burden. These criteria are described in “New response evaluation criteria in solid tumors: revised RECIST guideline version 1.1 Patients will be evaluated after 12 weeks (=8 weeks after introducing tremelimumab ± durvalumab) and then every 8 weeks for RECIST1.1 response by CT-scan, for the first 12 months. For subjects who achieve disease control following 12 months of treatment, tumor assessments should be performed every 12 weeks (± 1 week) relative to the date of first infusion thereafter until confirmed PD. For subjects who discontinue tremelimumab and/or durvalumab due to toxicity (or symptomatic deterioration), tumor assessments should be performed relative to the date of first infusion as follows: every 8 weeks (± 1 week) for the first 48 weeks, then every 12 weeks (± 1 week) until confirmed PD by RECIST v1.1 by investigational site review. | |
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point | Patients will be evaluated after 12 weeks (=8 weeks after introducing tremelimumab ± durvalumab) and then every 8 weeks for RECIST1.1 response by CT-scan, for the first 12 months. For subjects who achieve disease control following 12 months of treatment, tumor assessments should be performed every 12 weeks (± 1 week) relative to the date of first infusion thereafter until confirmed PD. | |
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) | 1) Establish safety of a combined schedule of paclitaxel, tremelimumab +/- durvalumab in treatment of mUC patients. The safety evaluation will include AEs, SAEs, and changes from baseline in laboratory evaluations, vital signs, electrocardiograms, and physical examinations. The number and percentage of subjects reporting treatment-emergent AEs will be summarized overall and by the worst CTCAE grade, system organ class, and preferred term. Similarly, the number and percentage of subjects reporting treatment-emergent AEs considered related to investigational product will be summarized. At each level of subject summarization, a subject will be counted once using the highest grade and level of causality if one or more occurrences of the same system organ class/preferred term are reported. Adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) CTCAE v5.0 and coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities. Laboratory abnormalities will be graded according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0, if applicable. 2) Determine clinical efficacy by additional measurements: OS and PFS by Kaplan-Meier method, 1-year OS and PFS, Duration of response. | |
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point | Patients and adverse events will be closely monitored until 90 days after end of treatment. Overall survival (OS) will be monitored afterwards. | |
