E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
This protocol will include both sample collection and residual sample storage for additional research. This collection for additional research is intended to expand the translational research and development capability at BMS, and will support as yet undefined research aims that will advance our understanding of disease and options for treatment. It may also be used to support health authority requests for analysis, and advancement of pharmacodiagnostic development to better target drugs to the right patients. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is BICR-assessed ORR. It is defined as the best response designation recorded between the date
of first study drug dose and the date of initial objectively documented progression per criteria or the date of subsequent therapy, whichever occurs first.
The BICR-assessed objective response will be further characterized by the DOR. DOR is defined as the time from first response (partial response [PR] or complete response [CR]) to the date of initial objectively documented progression as determined using the International Primary CNS Lymphoma Collaborative Group (IPCG) criteria for PCNSL and Lugano 2014 response evaluation for PTL, as determined by BICR, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary endpoint will be analyzed 6 months after last patient first treatment in each cohort. All treated subjects will be evaluated. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
The secondary endpoints are PFS based on BICR assessment, ORR and DOR based on investigator assessment, and OS. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Tumor assessments for PCNSL will occur every 2 months for 2 years, then every 6 months until disease progression.
Tumor assessments for PTL will occur every 2 months for 6 months, then every 3 months for 1.5 years, then every 6 months until disease progression. |
