|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |

ECOG performance status ≤1. 9. Recovered from all chemotherapy-related toxicities to grade 1 or grade 0 according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0, with the exception of alopecia (any grade) and peripheral neuropathy (≤grade 2). 10.

Any patient with childbearing potential (i.e., not surgically sterile or postmenopausal for >1 year) must use highly effective contraceptives with a Pearl index <1% according to the Note for guidance on non-clinical safety studies for the conduct of human clinical trials and marketing authorization for pharmaceuticals (CPMP/ICH/286/95) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) (Note: although pregnancy is unlikely to occur in this patient population, any patient with childbearing potential will be withdrawn from the study in the event of pregnancy). 12. Life expectancy >3 months. 13. Ability and willingness to give written informed consent.

Limited field radiotherapy maximum 30 days before randomization (Note: extensive prior radiotherapy during or following the last line of chemotherapy is not permitted; radiotherapy prior to the last line of chemotherapy is permitted). 6. Prior allergic reaction to a monoclonal antibody, grade 3 IRR or any grade 4 reaction to a monoclonal antibody. 7. Known sensitivity to any component of the test product. 8. Contraindication to the premedication used in this study (paracetamol/acetaminophen, H1 and/or H2 receptor antagonists, and steroids). 9. Clinical evidence of brain metastasis or leptomeningeal involvement. 10. Patients with second primary cancer, except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), stage 1 grade 1 endometrial carcinoma, or other solid tumors including lymphomas (without bone marrow involvement) curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years. 11. Primary or secondary immune deficiency. 12. Clinically active infections >grade 2 using NCI CTCAE v 4.0. 13. Active hepatitis B or C or infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). 14. Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Screening. 15. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association grade 3 or 4), unstable angina pectoris within 6 months prior to Screening, significant cardiac arrhythmia or history of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 1 year prior to Screening. 16. Prior or planned major surgery within 30 days prior to randomization and/or incomplete recovery from prior surgery. 17.
