What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) is defined as the number of randomized participants who achieve a best overall response (BOR) of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR), based on investigator assessments [using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1], divided by the number of all randomized participants.

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.

    Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Measured: From the date of randomization to the date of first objectively-documented progression or the date of subsequent therapy (Up to approximately 70 weeks)

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Event (TRAEs) Leading to Discontinuation Within 6 Months From First Dose

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after starting study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after starting study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  2. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, and requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  3. Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Discontinuation

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after starting study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  4. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related AEs

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after starting study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  5. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related SAEs

    Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, and requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  6. Number of Participants With AEs of Special Interest (AESIs)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition occurring in a clinical investigation participant after starting study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    An adverse event of special interest (AESI) is an AE (serious or nonserious) of scientific and medical concern specific to the sponsor's product/program that may require further investigation. AESIs for MORAb-202 include infusion-related reactions and interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis. The number of participants experiencing at least one AESI was assessed during the study.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  7. Number of Participants Who Died

    Number of participants who died during the study.

    Measured: From first dose of study medication until death due to any cause (up to 136 weeks)

  8. Number of Participants With Grade 3-4 Laboratory Abnormalities

    Number of participants experiencing most frequently reported clinical abnormalities in laboratory testing including hematology, chemistry, liver function, and renal function.

    Laboratory findings are graded on a scale from 1 to 5, with Grade 1 being mild and asymptomatic; Grade 2 is moderate requiring minimal, local or noninvasive intervention; Grade 3 is severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4 events are usually severe enough to require hospitalization; Grade 5 events are fatal.

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment through 30 days after the last dose of study treatment (up to approximately 25 months)

  9. Disease Control Rate (DCR) by RECIST v1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    Disease Control Rate (DCR) is defined as the number of randomized participants who achieve a BOR of confirmed CR, confirmed PR, or stable disease (SD), based on investigator assessments (using RECIST v1.1) divided by the number of all randomized participants.

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.

    Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm (Note: The appearance of 1or more new lesions is also considered progression).

    Based on Clopper and Pearson estimates of duration of response

    Measured: From randomization until disease progression, withdrawal from study treatment, initiation of new therapy, or study completion, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 136 weeks)

  10. Duration of Response (DoR) by RECIST v1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    Duration of Response (DoR) is defined as the time between the date of first documented response (CR or PR) confirmed, to the date of the first objectively documented tumor progression by investigator (per RECIST v1.1) or death, whichever occurs first.

    Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm.

    Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

    Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm (Note: The appearance of 1or more new lesions is also considered progression).

    Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates of duration of response

    Measured: From first documented response (complete response or partial response) until first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurred first (up to approximately 136 weeks)

  11. Progression-free Survival (PFS) by RECIST v1.1 Per Investigator Assessment

    Progression-free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time between the date of randomization and the first date of documented progression, per investigator assessments (using RECIST v1.1), or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5mm (Note: The appearance of 1or more new lesions is also considered progression).

    Based on Kaplan-Meier estimates of progression-free survival

    Measured: From the date of randomization to the first date of documented progression, or death whichever occurs first (Up to approximately 136 weeks)
