Drug

A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that blocks the interaction between PD-1 and PDL1/ PD-L2.

Primary outcomes

  1. Phase 1b: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT)

    Time frame: Phase 1b: at the end of cycle 1 (28 days) for the PF-06801591 300 mg SC Q4W arms, and (42 days) for the PF-06801591 600 mg SC Q6W arms

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with first line (1L) and second line (2L) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Phase 2).

    For the Phase 1b, any of the following AEs occurring during the DLT observation period (the first cycle of treatment) which were attributable to the investigational product were classified as DLTs: Grade 5 AE not clearly due to the underlying disease or extraneous causes; Hematologic toxicity; Non-Hematologic Toxicity; Delay of ≥ 3 weeks in receiving the next scheduled administration due to persisting treatment-related toxicities.

  2. Phase 2: AUCτ of PF-06801591 at Steady State

Grade 1: asymptomatic or mild symptoms, clinical or diagnostic observations only, intervention not indicated; Grade 2: moderate, minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated, limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily life (ADL); Grade 3: severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization indicated, disabling, limiting self-care (ADL); Grade 4: life-threatening consequence, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5: death related to AE.
