Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- It is the overall response rate anytime during the treatment period. Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as participants who achieve a PR or better (PR+VGPR+CR+sCR) according to IMWG response criteria during the treatment. The primary estimand is defined by the 5 components: Treatment, Population, Variable, Population-levels summary, Intercurrent event. It will be considered reached if >7 PR or better are present.Rate and the corresponding 90% Clopper-Pearson exact CI will be also provided.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Overall response rate (ORR) defined as participants who achieve a PR or better (PR+VGPR+CR+sCR) according to IMWG response criteria during the treatment. The primary estimand is defined by Treatment, Population, Variable, Population-level summary, Intercurrent event. Success criterion: >7 participants with PR or better. Rate and 90% Clopper-Pearson exact CI will be provided."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Duration of response (DOR) is defined as the time from the date of first documented response (≥PR) to the date of first confirmed PD. If the participant is w/o progression disease, the participant’s data will be censored at the date of last disease assessment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from first documented response (≥PR) to first confirmed disease progression (PD); censor at date of last disease assessment if no progression."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from the date of 1st dose of study drug to the date of first confirmed PD, as defined in the IMWG response criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. If the participant is alive and w/o progression disease, the participant’s data will be censored at the date of last disease assessment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from first dose to first confirmed PD (per IMWG) or death; censored at last disease assessment if alive and without progression."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Time to progression (TTP) is defined as the time from the date of 1st dose of study drug to the date of first documented PD, as defined in the IMWG response criteria. If the participant is w/o progression disease or die, the participant’s data will be censored at the date of last disease assessment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from first dose to first documented PD (per IMWG); censor at last disease assessment if no progression or death."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- Progression free survival 2 (PFS2) is defined as the time from the date of 1st dose of study drug to the date of event, which is defined as death from any cause or PD as assessed by investigator that starts after the next line of therapy, whichever occurs first.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Time from first dose to death or investigator-assessed PD that occurs after the next line of therapy; whichever occurs first."}
