- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR) Approximately 54 months ORR was percentage of participants with best overall response \[complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)\], per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
Phase 1: Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Approximately 54 months An adverse event is defined as the appearance of (or worsening of any pre-existing) undesirable sign(s), symptom(s), or medical condition(s) that occur after a participant provides informed consent. A TEAE is any adverse event either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug. Serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as an event that meets 1 of the following criteria: is fatal or life threatening, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, constitutes a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is clinically meaningful (i.e. defined as an event that jeopardizes the participant or requires potential medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed above) or requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Phase 2: Duration of Response (DOR) Up to 54 months Duration of response is the time from the first overall response contributing to an objective response (complete or partial response) for DLBCL to the date of death or the date of first overall response of progressive diseasemeasured (by irRECIST for solid tumors or the Lugano Classification, whichever is earliest.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) and Serious Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Up to 54 months Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS) Up to 54 months Progression-free survival is defined as number of days from the first day of taking study drug to the earlier of death or disease progression by irRECIST v1.1 for select solid tumors and modified Lugano Classification for DLBCL.
Phase 2: Duration of Disease Control Up to 54 months The duration of disease control is the time from the treatment start date to the first objective response of PD (by irRECIST v1.1 or Lugano Classification), death, or last tumor assessment date (if PD/death not present), for subjects with best overall response of SD or better.
Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS) Up to 54 months Overall survival is determined from the date of first dose until death due to any cause.
Phase 2: Ordinal Categorical Response Score Up to 54 months Ordinal categorical response score, determined by radiographic disease assessments per irRECIST v1.1. The 5-category ordinal response endpoint is determined at a given timepoint by classifying response into one of the following groups: 1 = Complete response per irRECIST v1.1 2 = Very good response, defined as \> 60% tumor reduction 3 = Minor response, defined as \> 30% to ≤ 60% tumor reduction 4 = Stable disease per irRECIST v1.1 5 = Progressive disease per irRECIST v1.1
