E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary efficacy endpoint is ORR, as determined by the IRRC,
defined as the proportion of subjects achieving the best response rating
of CR or PR based on the Modified Lugano Classification. ORR will be also
be assessed by the Investigator as a secondary endpoint |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary analysis of ORR for FL will be triggered after the initial 91
consequtive subjects ranomized to or assifned to IRS arm , which
represents the Primary Efficacy Population (PEP) (except those who
discontinue early), have been followed for at least 6 months from the
start of study drug.

disease progression or death from any cause. Disease progression
criteria are defined per Modified Lugano Response Criteria and will be
assessed by the IRRC and Investigator independently.
3. Time to treatment Failure (TTF)
Time to treatment failure will be assessed as a secondary endpoint and
is defined as the time from first dose of study drug to treatment failure.

disease progression, toxicity, or death.
4. Recapture of Response
Recapture of response is defined as achieving a second documented CR
or PR after experiencing the first PD.
Recapture of response rate will be assessed by the IRRC and
Investigator independently as a secondary endpoint, and is defined as

during IS dosing and subsequently switched to CS dosing and achieved a
second documented CR or PR.
Time to recapture of response will be assessed as a secondary endpoint,
and is defined as the time from the first PD until the second documented
CR or PR.
5. Overall Survival (OS)
