Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) Tumor Size

    Time frame: Week 4

    To assess the efficacy of a single i.v. dose of MCS110 in changing the size of PVNS tumors (as compared to baseline) compared to placebo over 4 weeks evaluated by volume of PVNS tumors by 3-dimensional MRI. This analysis includes all data from patients 4 weeks after receiving the first dose of MCS110 (3, 5 or 10 mg/kg) or placebo and assesses the tumor volume changes at week 4 as compared to baseline. As all parts (Part A, B and C) of the study are assessed after a single dose at week 4 the data set is called "ABC4".

  2. Percent Change in Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) Tumor Size

    Time frame: Week 4

    To assess the efficacy of a single i.v. dose of MCS110 in percent change of the PVNS tumor volume at week 4 as compared to baseline and compared to placebo evaluated by volume of PVNS tumors by 3-dimensional MRI. This analysis includes all data from patients who received at least a single dose of MCS110 (3, 5 or 10 mg/kg) or placebo and assesses the tumor volume changes at week 4 as compared to baseline. As all parts (Part A, B and C) of the study are assessed after a single dose at week 4 the data set is called "ABC4".

  3. Change in Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) or Giant Cell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath (GCTTS) Tumor Size

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks post last dose

    Assessment of maximum efficacy (multiple i.v.monthly doses (2 to 6) of 3, 5 or 10 mg/kg MCS110 or 3 & 10 mg/kg or 5 & 10 mg/kg in changing PVNS tumor volume (as compared to baseline) up to 8 weeks post last dose evaluated by MRI. Analysis included data starting from 1st dose of MCS110 in all treatment groups of Parts B and C. Part B patients who received placebo as 1st dose, measurement prior to receiving first dose of MCS110, was used as baseline and assessment time-points were adjusted accordingly. For Part C, participants starting treatment with low dose of MCS110 of 3 or 5 mg/kg could switch to 10 mg/kg after 3 monthly doses, if MCS110 was well tolerated and tumor volume reduction was ≤ 45%. Analysis includes data from patients who received at least 2 doses. The following five groups were assessed: Subjects receiving only 3 mg/kg, only 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg and those who switched after 3 doses of 3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [3/10 mg/kg] or after 3 doses of 5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [5/10 mg/kg]

  4. Percentage Change in Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (PVNS) or Giant Cell Tumor of the Tendon Sheath (GCTTS) Tumor Size

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks post last dose

    To assess the maximum efficacy of multiple monthly i.v. doses (2 to 6) of 3, 5 or 10 mg/kg MCS110 or 3 and 10 mg/kg or 5 and 10 mg/kg by percent change in the PVNS tumor volume (as compared to baseline) up to 8 weeks post last dose evaluated by MRI. Subjects starting treatment with a low dose of MCS110 of 3 or 5 mg/kg could switch to 10 mg/kg after 3 monthly doses, if MCS110 was well tolerated and the tumor volume reduction was ≤ 45%. This analysis includes data from all participants who received at least 2 doses of MCS110 and thus includes only patients from Part B and C of the study, thus the data set is called "Part BC".

The data presented are changes from baseline in degree. Participants, who started treatment with a low dose of MCS110 of 3 or 5 mg/kg could switch to 10 mg/kg after 3 monthly doses, if MCS110 was well tolerated and the tumor volume reduction was ≤ 45%. This analysis includes data from participants with knee tumor who received at least 2 doses of MCS110 and thus includes only patients from Part B and C of the study, thus the data set is called "Part BC". The following five groups were assessed: Subjects receiving only 3 mg/kg, only 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg and those who switched after 3 doses of 3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [3/10 mg/kg] or after 3 doses of 5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [5/10 mg/kg].

    Measurement of the participant's pain with a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS) following treatment with MCS110 3, 5, or 10 mg/kg evaluated. Data presented are changes from baseline in degree. Participants were asked to place a line perpendicular to the VAS line at the point that represented her/his pain intensity. Using a ruler, the score was determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the participants mark, providing a score from 0-100. Analysis includes data from participants with knee tumor who received at least 2 doses of MCS110 and thus includes only patients from Part B and C of the study, thus the data set is called "Part BC". The following five groups were assessed: Subjects receiving only 3 mg/kg, only 5 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg and those who switched after 3 doses of 3 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [3/10 mg/kg] or after 3 doses of 5 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg [5/10 mg/kg].

  10. Time to Relapse

    Time frame: Up to Week 104

    Time to relapse describes the time frame from baseline when the tumor volume increases again after the treatment with MCS110. To be considered a relapse tumor volume had to increase greater than 50% of the difference between tumor volume at baseline and the lowest tumor volume measured by MRI. In this assessment the Part B and Part C patients were analyzed separately. N/A (not available):Data analysis not performed as sample size was not analyzable as no patient had surgery/relapse.

  11. Time to Surgery

    Time frame: Up to Week 104

    Time to surgery describes the time frame from baseline to the time point when participants had surgical removement of PVNS tumor. This could be either residual tumor after the tumor volume was reduced or surgery due to relapse. In this assessment the Part B and Part C patients were analyzed separately. Not Available (NA): Data analysis not performed as sample size was not analyzable as no patient had surgery.

  12. Average of Health-Related Quality of Life Questionnaire Score for mHAQ

    Time frame: up to 104 weeks

    The mHAQ assesses 20 activities in 8 categories related to daily life, which are rated on a 4-point Likert scale. The mHAQ is calculated as the average of the single scores with the following scoring: without difficulty =0; with some difficulty =1; with much difficulty =2; unable to do =3. Total score is between 0 - 3.0. Values <0.3 are considered normal. Data presented include only participants, who received multiple doses of MCS110.

  13. Number of CD14+ Monocytes and Number of CD14 + Monocytes and CD16+ Monocytes

    Time frame: Baseline Up to Week 104

    Blood samples were collected for the evaluation of CD14+ monocytes (using FACS) and CD14+ CD16+ monocytes. Based on preliminary analysis, the quality of the samples did not allow meaningful conclusions to be drawn. Thus, in Part B, the monocyte sample collection was discontinued.

The 5 KOOS sub-scales were scored separately on a Likert scale scored from 0 (no problems) to 4 (extreme problems) and scores were transformed to a 0.100 scale with 0 representing extreme knee problems and 100 representing no problems. The 5 dimensions were analyzed independently. Positive changes (i.e. increases in the score) are beneficial. KOOS was assessed in Part B and C only in participants with knee PVNS tumor.
