A prior bleeding event due to esophageal or gastric varices within 6 months or other gastrointestinal bleeding events within 28 days prior to screening. Untreated or incompletely treated esophageal or gastric varices that are considered by the investigator to be at high-risk for bleeding (Note: Patients must undergo an esophagogastroduodenoscopy [EGD], and all size of varices [small to large] must be assessed and treated per local standard of care prior to enrollment; patients who have undergone an EGD within 6 months prior to the initiation of study treatment do not need to repeat the procedure).

Surgery or locoregional therapy for palliative purpose (e.g., to treat bone metastases or metastases causing nerve impingement) within 4 weeks prior to study treatment. 6. History of other malignancy(ies) in the past 5 years, except for malignant disease treated with curative intent and without active disease. 7. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). 8. Current or prior use of systemic corticosteroid (> 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medication within 14 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. 9. History of bone marrow transplantation or organ transplantation. 10. History of anaphylaxis or hypersensitivity to any ingredient of the investigational product. 11. Any contraindication of lenvatinib. 12.Known history of drug abuse that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial. 13. Pregnant or lactating female subjects. 14. History of psychiatric disease that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial; lack of or with restricted physical capability. 15. QTc interval > 470 msec (as calculated with Fridericia's formula) at screening electrocardiogram (ECG); 16. Any condition that would in the investigator's judgment, prevent the subject from participating in this study.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
* Primary endpoint: Overall survival (OS) * Estimand: The primary objective will be evaluated under the treatment policy strategy to reflect the effect of the initially assigned randomized study treatment, irrespective of intercurrent events such as discontinuing treatment, withdrawing from or dropping out of the study and starting of non-protocol anti-cancer treatment. The population-level summary for OS will be estimated by the HR from stratified Cox regression model together with its corresponding 95% CI and stratified logrank p-value for the ITT set.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
* From randomization to death, loss to follow-up or end of study, whichever occurs first.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Key secondary endpoints: * Objective response rate (ORR) assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review Committee (BICR) * Estimand: ORR assessed by BICR will be evaluated under the modified while-on-treatment strategy using tumor assessments prior to initiating non-protocol anti-cancer treatment to reflect the effect of the initially assigned randomized study treatment. The population-level summary for ORR evaluated by BICR will be presented by the rate difference between the two groups and the corresponding 95% CI using normal approximation to the binomial distribution, and p-value calculated by Stratified Mantel-Haenszel test for the ITT set. * Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by BICR based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) v1.1 * Estimand: PFS assessed by BICR will be evaluated under the treatment policy strategy to reflect the effect of the initially assigned randomized study treatment, irrespective of intercurrent events such as discontinuing treatment before BICR assessed disease progression and starting of non-protocol anti-cancer treatment before disease progression. The population-level summary for PFS evaluated by BICR will be estimated by the hazard ratio (HR) from stratified Cox regression model together with its corresponding 95% CI and stratified logrank p- value for the ITT set. Other secondary endpoints * PFS evaluated by investigator based on RECIST v1.1. * ORR evaluated by investigators based on RECIST v1.1 * Duration of response (DoR) and disease control rate (DCR) evaluated by BICR and investigators based on RECIST v1.1 * Adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), death, vital signs including blood pressure and pulse, etc., electrocardiogram (ECG), laboratory tests (including serum chemistry, hematology and urinalysis, etc.) and ECOG performance status etc. * Peak and trough serum concentrations of CS1003 * Number and percentage of subjects who develop anti-CS1003 antibody (ADA) * Time to deterioration (TTD), defined as the time from randomization to the first deterioration of EORTC QLQ-C30 scale
