What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause.

    Measured: up to 39.1 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the length of time from the date of randomization until the earliest date of disease progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1), as determined by blinded independent central review (BICR), or death due to any cause, if occurring sooner than progression.

    Measured: up to 35.8 months

  2. Objective Response Rate

    Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants who had a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per RECIST v1.1 based on BICR at any post-Baseline visit until the first progressive disease or new anticancer therapy. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 millimeters (mm). PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions.

    Measured: up to 35.78 months

  3. Duration of Response

    Duration of response was defined as the time from the earliest date of documented response until the earliest date of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever comes first, per RECIST v1.1 based on BICR. CR: disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no appearance of any new lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to <10 mm. PR: complete disappearance or at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as a reference the baseline sum diameters, no new lesions, and no progression of non-target lesions. PD: progression of a target or non-target lesion or presence of a new lesion.

    Measured: up to 34.3 months

  4. Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) in the Randomized Treatment Period

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. TEAEs were defined as any AEs either reported for the first time or the worsening of pre-existing events after the first dose of retifanlimab/placebo and within 90 days of the last administration of the randomized period. AEs that occurred after new anticancer therapy (including monotherapy treatment) were to be excluded.

    Measured: up to approximately 39 months

  5. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to TEAEs in the Randomized Treatment Period

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. TEAEs were defined as any AEs either reported for the first time or the worsening of pre-existing events after the first dose of retifanlimab/placebo and within 90 days of the last administration of the randomized period. AEs that occurred after new anticancer therapy (including monotherapy treatment) were to be excluded.

    Measured: up to approximately 39 months

  6. Number of Participants With Any TEAE in the Monotherapy Treatment Period

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. TEAEs were defined as any AEs either reported for the first time or the worsening of pre-existing events after the first dose of retifanlimab/placebo and within 90 days of the last administration of the randomized period. AEs that occurred after new anticancer therapy (including monotherapy treatment) were to be excluded.

    Measured: up to approximately 27 months

  7. Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Drug Due to TEAEs in the Monotherapy Treatment Period

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE could therefore have been any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study treatment. TEAEs were defined as any AEs either reported for the first time or the worsening of pre-existing events after the first dose of retifanlimab/placebo and within 90 days of the last administration of the randomized period. AEs that occurred after new anticancer therapy (including monotherapy treatment) were to be excluded.

    Measured: up to approximately 27 months

  8. Cmax1 of Retifanlimab When Administered With Chemotherapy

    Cmax1 was defined as the first-dose maximum serum concentration of retifanlimab.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-infusion and immediately after infusion

  9. AUC1 of Retifanlimab When Administered With Chemotherapy

    AUC1 was defined as the first-dose area under the serum concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1: pre-infusion and immediately after infusion

  10. Cmaxss of Retifanlimab When Administered With Chemotherapy

    Cmaxss was defined as the maximum serum concentration of retifanlimab at steady state.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1): pre-infusion and immediately after infusion (IAI). C2D1: pre-infusion. C4D1: pre-infusion and IAI. C6D11: pre-infusion. C8D1, and every 4 cycles thereafter: pre-infusion. End of treatment visit and 30-day safety follow-up visit.

  11. AUCss of Retifanlimab When Administered With Chemotherapy

    AUCss was defined as the area under the serum concentration versus time curve at steady state.

    Measured: Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1): pre-infusion and immediately after infusion (IAI). C2D1: pre-infusion. C4D1: pre-infusion and IAI. C6D11: pre-infusion. C8D1, and every 4 cycles thereafter: pre-infusion. End of treatment visit and 30-day safety follow-up visit.

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 phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Feb 2025). 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?

Overall Survival (time frame: up to 39.1 months). 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 NCT04205812, 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 6 Jul 2026.
