E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is overall survival (OS), which is defined as the time (in months) between the date of randomization and the date of death due to any cause. Comparisons with respect to OS between two treatment arms (i.e., cobimetinib plus atezolizumab vs. regorafenib, atezolizumab vs. regorafenib) will be tested.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The OS final analysis will be conducted when there are approximately 178 deaths for the comparison of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab versus regorafeib and approximately 127 deaths for the comparison of atezolizumab monotherapy versus regorafenib. This is expected to occur approximately 22 months after the first patient is randomized. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary endpoints include investigator assessed progression free survival (PFS), overall response rate (ORR), and duration of response (DOR) per RECIST v1.1. PFS is defined as the time between date of randomization and the date of first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. ORR is defined as the proportion of patients who had a confirmed objective response of CR or PR assessed by the investigator according to the RECIST v1.1. DOR is defined as the period measured from the date of the first occurrence of a CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date that progressive disease or death is documented.
Safety analyses will be performed on the safety population and will include all randomized patients who received at least one dose of study drug. Study drug exposure, including treatment duration, number of doses, and dose intensity, will be summarized for each treatment arm using descriptive statistics. All adverse events and selected laboratory and vital abnormalities that occur during or after the first study drug dose will be summarized by treatment arm and NCI CTCAE grade.
For patient reported outcomes, the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire and two additional items will be scored according to the EORTC Scoring Manual to more fully characterize the clinical profile of cobimetinib plus atezolizumab as compared to regorafenib. In addition, to derive utility for pharmocoeconomic models, patients will complete the EQ 5D 5L.
Cobimetinib and atezolizumab maximum and minimum concentration data (Cmin and Cmax, respectively) will be tabulated and summarized
The relationship between ATA (anti-therapeutic antibody) status and safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics will be analyzed and reported descriptively.
