Treatment and study plan

Retifanlimab

Drug

Retifanlimab 500 milligrams (mg) intravenously every 4 weeks (Q4W).

Other names: MGA012, INCMGA00012

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, and every 4 weeks throughout the study, up to approximately 24 months

    ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1 (v1.1), as assessed by independent central radiographic (ICR) review, at any post-Baseline visit until new anti-cancer therapy or first Progressive Disease. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 millimeters (mm). PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: up to 18.2 months

    DOR was defined as the time from an initial objective response (CR or PR) per RECIST v1.1 until the first observation of documented disease progression (PD), as determined by ICR, or death due to any cause. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.

  2. Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Time frame: Cycle 1 Day 1, and every 4 weeks throughout the study, up to approximately 24 months

    DCR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed overall response of CR, PR, or stable disease (SD), per RECIST v1.1, at any post-baseline visit until the first progressive disease (PD) or new anti-cancer therapy. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion. SD: no change in target lesions to qualify for CR, PR, or PD.

  3. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: up to 16.8 months

    According to RECIST 1.1, PFS was defined as the length of time from the initial infusion of study drug until the earliest date of disease progression, as determined by ICR, or death due to any cause, if occurring sooner than progression.

  4. Overall Survival

    Time frame: up to 28.2 months

    Overall survival was defined as the time in months between the first dose date (Day 1) and the date of death due to any cause.

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: up to 913 days

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug-related. An AE could have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of the study drug. A TEAE was defined as any AE either reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first dose of retifanlimab and within 90 days of the last administration of retifanlimab.

  6. Cmax of Retifanlimab

    Time frame: pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7; 10 minutes and 4 hours post-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 6

    Cmax was defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration.

  7. Tmax of Retifanlimab

    Time frame: pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7; 10 minutes and 4 hours post-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 6

    tmax was defined as the time to the maximum concentration.

  8. Cmin of Retifanlimab

    Time frame: pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7; 10 minutes and 4 hours post-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 6

    Cmin was defined as the minimum observed plasma concentration over the dose interval.

  9. AUC0-t of Retifanlimab

    Time frame: pre-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1, 2, 4, 6, and 7; 10 minutes and 4 hours post-infusion on Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 6

    AUC0-t was defined as the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time = 0 to the last measurable concentration at time = t.
