  • Subject with active, known or suspected autoimmune disease
  • Subjects with a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 day of study drug administration
  • Prior treatment with an anti-PD-1,anti-PD-L1,anti-PD-L2,anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody, anti-CD137 or any other antibody or drug specifically targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways

Exclusion laboratory criteria:

  • Positive test for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV s Ag) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV antibody) indicating acute or chronic infection

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective Response Rate Per BIRC Assessment

    Time frame: From the date of first dose to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (assessed up to 14 months)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (per RECIST 1.1 criteria) divided by the number of all treated participants. RECIST 1.1 = Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. BIRC= blinded independent review committee

  2. ORR Per BIRC Assessment by PD-L1 Expression Level

    Time frame: From the date of first dose to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (assessed up to 14 months)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the number of participants with a best overall response of confirmed Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) (per RECIST 1.1 criteria) divided by the number of all treated participants. RECIST 1.1 = Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. CR= Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. BIRC= blinded independent review committee PD-L1 expression level= membranous staining in greater than or equal to 5% and greater than or equal to 1% tumor cells. n = Number of participants in each category

  3. Time to Response (TTR)

    Time frame: From first dosing date to the date of the first confirmed response (up to approximately 14 months)

    TTR is defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of the first confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by the Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC). Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: From the first confirmed response to the date of the first documented tumor progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 14 months)

    DOR is defined as the time from first confirmed response, complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to the date of the first documented tumor progression as determined using RECIST 1.1 criteria or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who start subsequent therapy without a prior reported progression will be censored at the last evaluable tumor assessments prior to initiation of the subsequent anticancer therapy. Participants who die without a reported prior progression will be considered to have progressed on the date of their death. Participants who neither progress nor die will be censored on the date of their last evaluable tumor assessment.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: From first dosing date to the date of the first documented tumor progression (up to approximately 6 months)

    PFS was defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of the first documented tumor progression, based on Blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) assessments or death due to any cause. Progression was defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions. PD-L1 expression level is defined as membranous staining in greater than or equal to 5% and greater than or equal to 1% tumor cells.

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: From first dosing date to the date of death (up to approximately 23 months)

    Overall Survival was defined as the time from first dosing date to the date of death. A participant who had not died was censored at last known date alive. PD-L1 expression level = membranous staining in greater than or equal to 5% and greater than or equal to 1% tumor cells.

  3. Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per Investigator

    Time frame: From the date of first dose to the date of objectively documented progression or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 45 months)

    Investigator-assessed ORR was defined as the percent of participants with a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Complete response is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. Partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. PD-L1 expression level = Membranous staining in greater than or equal to 5% and greater than or equal to 1% tumor cells.
