What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Anti-tumor activity of AK104 using objective response rate (ORR) based on RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator

    The ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects with confirmed CR or confirmed PR, based on RECIST Version 1.1.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of subjects experiencing adverse events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

    Measured: From the time of informed consent through 90 days after last dose of AK104

  2. Disease control rate (DCR)

    The DCR is defined as the proportion of subjects with CR, PR, or SD (subjects achieving SD will be included in the DCR if they maintain SD for ≥8 weeks) based on RECIST Version 1.1.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with AK104 until the first documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the start of treatment with AK104 until death due to any cause.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  5. Duration of response (DoR)

    Duration of response is defined as the duration from the first documentation of objective response to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  6. Minimum observed concentration (Cmin) of AK104 at steady state

    The endpoints for assessment of PK of AK104 include serum concentrations of AK104 at different timepoints after AK104 administration.

    Measured: From first dose of AK104 through to 90 days after last dose of AK104

  7. Number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)

    The immunogenicity of AK104 will be assessed by summarizing the number of subjects who develop detectable anti-drug antibodies (ADAs).

    Measured: From first dose of AK104 through to 90 days after last dose of AK104

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AK104 in people with Advanced Solid Tumors and Melanoma, run by Akeso at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Anti-tumor activity of AK104 using objective response rate (ORR) based on RECIST v1.1 as assessed by the investigator (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04172454, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Oct 2022.
