Treatment and study plan

AK104

Biological

Subjects will receive AK104 and lenvatinib until disease progression or for a maximum of 24 months

Lenvatinib

Drug

Subjects will receive AK104 and lenvatinib until disease progression for a maximum of 24 months

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or PR, based on RECIST v1.1.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Disease control rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    The DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD (subjects achieving SD will be included in the DCR if they maintain SD for ≥8 weeks) based on RECIST Version 1.1.

  2. Duration of response (DoR)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Duration of response is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with AK104 until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  4. Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: the time of informed consent signed through 90 days after the last dose of AK104 and

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

  5. Observed concentrations of AK104

    Time frame: From first dose of AK104 through 90 days after last dose of AK104

    The endpoints for assessment of PK of AK104 include serum concentrations of AK104 at different timepoints after AK104 administration.

  6. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)

    Time frame: From first dose of AK104 through 90 days after last dose of AK104

    The immunogenicity of AK104 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable antidrug antibodies (ADAs).
