E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Phase I:
Incidence of DLTs and the incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs).
Phase II:
ORR (CR + PR) confirmed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response are first met, based on RECIST version 1.1 criteria. In the
neuroblastoma group the ORR will be determined by RECIST and/or the Curie scale (MIBG response). |

E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Phase I:
Initial 1-2 cycles of treatment
Phase II:
Expected 12-16 weeks after starting treatment; longer depending on the patient |

E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Phase I:
1) PK parameters including the maximum observed concentration in blood (Cmax), area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC), clearance and volume of distribution (Vss).
2) ORR
Phase II:
1) DoR in patients with a confirmed objective CR or partial response (PR). DCR is the percentage of patients with a confirmed objective CR or PR, or stable disease for at least 16 weeks.
2) PFS based on investigator assessment of response using RECIST 1.1 guidelines. In the neuroblastoma group the PFS will be determined by RECIST and/or the Curie scale (MIBG response)
3) Survival at 1 year
4) The incidence of TEAEs
