What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR) by Independent Radiological Assessment Committee (IRAC)

    Confirmed tumor response (complete response \[CR\] or partial response \[PR\]) to treatment as assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 by IRAC

    Time frame: From T-cell infusion to end of Interventional Phase (Up to 5 months from T-cell infusion).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number and Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Including Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical study participant temporally associated with the use of the study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Therefore, an AE could 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 intervention. The number of participants with AEs (including SAEs), SAEs and AESI including cytokine release syndrome, ICANS, and prolonged cytopenia are presented.

    Time frame: From start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy to end of Interventional Phase (up to 5 months)

    TTR (CR or PR) was defined as the interval between the date of first T-cell infusion and the earliest date of first documented confirmed CR or confirmed PR.

    Time frame: From T-cell infusion until first documented confirmed CR or PR

  3. Duration of Response (DoR) by IRAC

    DoR is defined as duration between the initial date of the confirmed complete or partial response to the date of progressive disease or death, where tumor response and disease progression were assessed by IRAC.
