What is being measured

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

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

    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.

    Measured: 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

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

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    AUCτ is area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero to the next dose (at steady state, starting at Week 12). (τ = X days, where X = 28 days for Q4W regimen and 42 days for Q6W regimen)

    Measured: Phase 2: Cycle 4 Day 1, 8, 15, 22 and Cycle 5 Day 1 for the PF-06801591 300 mg SC Q4W arm, and Cycle 3 Day 1, 8, 15, 29 and Cycle 4 Day 1 for the PF-06801591 600 mg SC Q6W arm

  3. Phase 2: Ctrough of PF-06801591 at Steady State, at Week 12

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    Steady state Ctrough is pre-dose concentration following multiple dosing at steady state (Week 12)

    Measured: Phase 2: Cycle 4 Day 1 for the PF-06801591 300 mg SC Q4W arm, and Cycle 3 Day 1 for the PF-06801591 600 mg SC Q6W arm

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: On-treatment period is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment through minimum (30 days + last dose of study treatment, start day of new anti-cancer drug therapy - 1 day).

  2. Number of Participants With Laboratory Abnormalities

    Laboratory results were classified according to the NCI-CTCAE criteria version 5.0. 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. Number of participants with Grade 1 to Grade 4 laboratory abnormalities were reported.

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: On-treatment period is defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment through minimum (30 days + last dose of study treatment, start day of new anti-cancer drug therapy - 1 day).

  3. Pharmacokinetic Parameters: AUCτ After First Dose

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    AUCτ is area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero to the next dose (after single dose). (τ = X days, where X = 28 days for Q4W regimen and 42 days for Q6W regimen)

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: For the PF-06801591 300 mg SC Q4W arms, Cycle 1 Day 1, 8, 15, 22, Cycle 2 Day 1; for the PF-06801591 600 mg SC Q6W arms, Cycle 1 Day 1, 8, 15, 29, Cycle 2 Day 1

  4. Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Ctrough After First Dose

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    Ctrough is pre-dose concentration after single dose (first dose).

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: Cycle 2 Day 1 for all Arms

  5. Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Ctrough at Steady State

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    Steady state Ctrough is pre-dose concentration following multiple dosing at steady state (Week 12)

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: For the PF-06801591 300 mg SC Q4W arms, Day 1 of Cycle 4; for the PF-06801591 600 mg SC Q6W arms, Day 1 of Cycle 3

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    OR was defined as confirmed best overall response (BOR) of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1.

    Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis <10 mm). All target lesions must be assessed.

    Partial Response (PR): Greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. All target lesions must be assessed.

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: Up to 30 months

  8. Time to Response (TTR)

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    TTR was defined for participants with confirmed objective response (CR or PR) as the time from the 'start date' to the date of first documentation of objective tumor response which is subsequently confirmed.

    Measured: Phase 1b/2: Up to 30 months

  9. Number of Participants With Objective Response (Complete Response + Partial Response) Reported by Baseline Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-L1) Status (High, Low, and Unknown)

    This study included Asian participants with advanced solid tumors (Phase 1b) and global participants with 1L and 2L NSCLC (Phase 2).

    OR was defined as confirmed BOR of CR or PR according to RECIST v1.1. CR: Complete disappearance of all target lesions with the exception of nodal disease. All target nodes must decrease to normal size (short axis <10 mm). All target lesions must be assessed.

    PR: Greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of diameters of all target measurable lesions. All target lesions must be assessed.

    PD-L1 expression was defined as the number of PD-L1 positive cells and/or qualitative assessment of PD-L1 staining on tumor and inflammatory cells in regions of interest that are defined by tumor cell morphology.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

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). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04181788, 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.
