E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Phase 1: Incidence of adverse events (AEs) defined as dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). Phase 2: Overall complete remission rate (CR + CRi) per independent review (Appendix A of the protocol). All subjects who do not meet the criteria for CR or CRi by the analysis data cutoff date will be considered non-responders for the overall complete remission rate evaluation.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary analysis will occur when the overall study enrollment is complete and all treated subject in the mITT set have had the opportunity to complete the month 6 disease assessment. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- Overall complete remission rate (CR + CRi) per investigator assessment (Appendix A of the protocol) - Duration of Remission (DOR) - Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) negative rate - Allogeneic SCT rate - Overall survival (OS) - Relapsed-free Survival (RFS) - Incidence of AEs and Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade changes in safety laboratory values - Incidence of anti-KTE-C19 antibodies |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |

Subjects will begin the long term follow-up period after they have completed the Month 3 visit of the post treatment assessment period (whether they have responded to treatment or went straight to the month 3 visit due to disease progression) - Every 3 months (± 2 weeks) through Month 18 - Every 6 months (± 1 month) between Month 24 - Month 60 - Beginning with year 6, Month 72 (± 3 months), subjects will return to the clinic 1 time annually up to 15 years after the last subject receives their KTE C19 infusion. |
