AK112 or Placebo Plus Nab-Paclitaxel as First-line Treatment in Inoperable Locally Advanced/ Metastatic Triple-negative Breast Cancer

This multicenter, randomized, double-blind study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of AK112 in combination with Nab-Paclitaxel, compared to a placebo plus Nab-Paclitaxel, as a first-line treatment for inoperable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Treatment and study plan

AK112

Drug

AK112 via intravenous (IV) infusion

Nab-paclitaxel

Drug

Nab-Paclitaxel 100mg/m2 via IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle

Placebo

Drug

Placebo via IV infusion

Primary outcomes

  1. PFS assessed by IRRC

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Progression-Free Survival (PFS) assessed by Independent Radiologic Review Committee (IRRC)

  2. OS

    Time frame: Up to approximately 4 years

    Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause

Secondary outcomes

  1. PFS assessed by investigator

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented PD per RECIST 1.1 based on assessments by investigator or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  2. ORR assessed by IRRC or investigators

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants in the analysis population who have a complete response (CR: disappearance of all lesions) or partial response (PR: at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions). The percentage of participants who experienced a CR or PR as assessed by IRRC or investigators based on RECIST 1.1 is presented.

  3. DCR assessed by IRRC or investigators

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Disease control rate (DCR) is defined as the sum rate of CR, PR and Stable Disease (SD), as determined by IRRC or investigators using RECIST v1.1

  4. DoR assessed by IRRC or investigators

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Duration of response (DoR) is defined as the time period from the date of initial CR or PR until the date of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  5. TTR assessed by IRRC or investigators

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Time to response (TTR) is defined as the time to response based on RECIST v1.1.

  6. Adverse Events (AEs)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Incidence and severity of participants with adverse events

  7. Cmax and Cmin

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    AK112 serum drug concentrations in subjects at different time points after AK112 administration.

  8. Anti-drug antibodies (ADA)

    Time frame: Up to approximately 2 years

    Number of subjects with detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADA).
