Optional: Left over biospecimens (for example, blood and tissue samples) after analyses may be stored for future research uses from subjects who have consented and provided it is not prohibited by local laws and Ethics Committees. No additional samples will be collected except for those listed above. The samples will be stored for up to 10 years and destroyed after that. The samples may undergo genetic tests, tests for biomarkers, and other tests specific for the indication. It is the responsibility of the Investigator, or a person designated by the Investigator (if acceptable under local regulations), to obtain written informed consent from each individual who has consented to have their biospecimens stored for future research. Subjects must receive an explanation that they are completely free to refuse long-term storage of their samples for future research and may withdraw their sample at any time and for any reason during the 10 year storage period of the specimen(s), unless their sample has been retained in a anonymized manner (in which case it can no longer be identified as relating to the subject). |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary efficacy endpoint: Tumor response in terms of clinical benefit will be assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria from centrally read CT scans obtained at the 16 week assessment. Tumor response is judged relative to baseline tumor assessments. An evaluable subject will be considered to have a response of CB if the assessment indicates SD, PR, or CR. The primary assessment is among the evaluable subjects in the FAS at 16 weeks. An evaluable subject who does not have a week 16 assessment for any reason remains in the evaluable subset of the FAS and is considered a failure to achieve CB (SD, PR, or CR). |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• CBR in the FAS at 16 weeks. The following secondary efficacy endpoints will be assessed among evaluable subjects (if not already listed above), the FAS (if not already listed above), and the PPS: • CBR at weeks 16 and 24 • ORR (PR or CR assessed by RECIST 1.1 criteria) at weeks 16 and 24. • Best (confirmed) overall response rate (BOR). BOR is defined as the best observed response for each subject up to and including the EOT. Reponses of PR or CR should be confirmed by a repeat assessment at least 4 weeks later. • PFS: PFS is defined as the time from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death. Subjects who have no PFS events will be censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. If the subject has no post-baseline tumor assessments, they will be censored at the time of enrollment. • TTP: TTP is defined as the time from treatment initiation until objective tumor progression or death due to PD. Subjects who have not progressed will be censored at the date of the last adequate tumor assessment. If the subject has no post-baseline tumor assessments but was known to be alive, they will be censored at the time of enrollment. • Duration of response: Duration of response, in responders, is defined as the period from the date of initial PR or CR until the date of PD or death from any cause. Only subjects with BOR of CR or PR (i.e., responders) will be included in the analysis of duration of response. Subjects with no documented progression or death after CR or PR will be censored at the last date at which they are known to have had the CR or PR.
Safety endpoints The following safety endpoints will be assessed among evaluable subjects as well as all subjects enrolled and treated: AEs and concomitant medications, laboratory examinations (clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis), physical examinations, vital signs, ECOG performance status.
Pharmacokinetic endpoints: plasma concentrations of GTx-024 18 mg and GTx-024 glucuronide at each assessment.
• To assess overall Survival: Median OS and 95% confidence intervals will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and the survival function and associated 95% confidence intervals will be constructed at key time points. Follow up will be up to 24 months post treatment initiation for each subject and subjects alive at that time will be censored. |
