E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BMS-986179 administered alone and/or in combination with nivolumab. The assessment of safety will be based on the incidence of AEs, SAEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, and deaths. In addition, clinical laboratory test abnormalities will be examined. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The first secondary objective (PD effect of CD73 inhibition) will be measured by CD73 enzyme assays and CD73 IHC in pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies.
The anti-tumor activity of BMS-986179 in combination with nivolumab will be measured by ORR, DOR, and PFSR at 24 weeks and will be based on RECIST 1.1 for solid tumors. Disease assessment with CT and/or MRI as appropriate will be performed at baseline, every 8 weeks from the start of combination treatment for the Q1W and Q2W regimens, or every 9 weeks from the start of combination treatment for the Q3W regimen until treatment discontinuation or completion, and then every 12 weeks for the first year until further disease progression, start of a new treatment, lost to follow-up, or death, whichever comes first.
The PK will be characterized by assessment of PK parameters of BMS-986179, and immunogenicity will be assessed by the frequency of positive ADA to BMS-986179 and nivolumab. |
