Treatment and study plan

MRG004A plus best supportive care

Drug

MRG004A will be administrated as specified in the protocol.

Placebo plus best supportive care

Drug

Placebo will be administrated as specified in the protocol, following the same dose regimen as MRG004A.

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months)

    OS is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to death of any cause.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months)

    PFS is defined as the duration from the start of treatment to the onset of tumor progression or death of any cause.

  2. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months)

    ORR is defined as the proportions of patients with a complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). ORR will be assessed according to RECIST v1.1.

  3. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months)

    DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects achieving CR, PR, and stable disease (SD) after treatment.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Baseline to study completion (up to 24 months)

    The time interval between the date of the earliest qualifying response and the date of disease progression or death for any cause, whichever occurs earlier.

  5. Immunogenicity (ADA)

    Time frame: Baseline to 14 days after the last dose.

    The proportion of patients with positive ADA results.

  6. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

    Any reaction, side effect, or untoward event that occurs during the course of the clinical trial whether or not the event is considered related to the study drug.

  7. Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

    Adverse events that are fatal, life-threatening, or result in hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity/substantial disruption of the ability to lead a normal life, congenital anomaly/birth defect or major medical events or reactions
