E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The dual primary objectives are:
1) to compare the OS in all patients randomized to the tebentafusp monotherapy versus all patients randomized to the Investigator’s Choice monotherapy
2) to compare the OS in all patients randomized to the tebentafusp monotherapy who develop a rash within the first week of treatment versus all patients randomized to the Investigator's Choice monotherapy
Both objectives relate to HLA A*0201 positive patients with advanced UM with no prior treatment in the metastatic setting. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To characterize the safety and tolerability of IMCgp100 in the intra-patient dose escalation regimen
• To characterize the PK profile of single-agent IMCgp100 in the intra-patient dose escalation regimen
• To assess the anti-tumor efficacy of IMCgp100 versus Inv. choice with the parameters of ORR, progression free survival, duration of response, time to response and disease control rate using response evaluation criteria in solid tumors
• To evaluate the treatment and disease impact to health-related quality of life in patients treated with IMCgp100 versus patients treated with Investigator’s Choice. HRQoL will be assessed using 2 established patient-reported outcome instruments:
o EuroQol-5 compared to population norms
o The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core
• To evaluate the incidence of anti-IMCgp100 antibody formation following multiple infusions of IMCgp100 in the intra-patient dose escalation regimen |
