E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the antitumor activity of combined administration of standard doxorubicin and double immune modulation with Bintrafusp alfa in terms of 6 month progression-free rate (as per RECIST v1.1 criteria) after blinded centralized radiological review, in patients with advanced STS. Antitumor activity will be assessed independently for 2 distinct subgroups of patients, depending on the presence (TLS+) or absence (TLS-) of mature tertiary lymphoid structures. |

L’activité antitumorale sera évaluée indépendamment pour chaque sous-groupe de patients, en fonction de la présence (TLS+) ou de non (TLS-) de structures lymphoïdes tertiaires matures. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Efficacy will be assessed in terms of 6-month progression-free rate, as per the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). This endpoint is a validated endpoint in STS. Non-progression is defined as complete or partial response (CR, PR) or stable disease (SD), as per RECIST v1.1. Disease status at 6 months will be centrally reviewed for all patients by an expert radiologist blinded to the treatment. Reviewed data will be used for the primary efficacy analysis. |
L’activité antitumorale sera évaluée en termes de taux de non-progression à 6 mois (6- month progression-free rate, 6-month PFR).
Le taux de non-progression à 6 mois est défini par la proportion de patients avec une réponse complète ou partielle ou maladie stable (RECIST v1.1, >= 24 semaines).
Le critère principal sera évalué à partir des résultats de la relecture radiologique centralisée, en aveugle du traitement reçu.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The PFR at 6 months will be reported |
Le taux de non-progression sera reporté à 6 mois |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
1 - Objective response is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) defined as per RECIST evaluation criteria v1.1. Claimed responses will have to be confirmed at least 4 weeks later to ensure responses identified are not the results of measurement errors.
2 -Duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever status is recorded first) until the first date that recurrence or PD is objectively documented, taking as reference for PD the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started.
3 - Best overall response under treatment is defined as the best response recorded from the start of the study treatment until the end of treatment taking into account any requirement for confirmation as per RECIST v1.1 criteria. It is determined once all the data for the patient is known.
4 - Progression-Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of disease progression (defined as per RECIST V1.1) or death (of any cause), whichever occurs first.
5 - Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death (of any cause).
6 - Immune response is defined following (iRECIST - Seymour et al. 2017). Analysis of Immune-related response will be based on blinded central radiological review data.
7 - Safety will be graded using the common toxicity criteria from the NCI CTC-AE v5.0. |
1 - Réponse objective définie par la proportion de patients avec une réponse complète (RC) ou partielle (RP) (RECIST v1.1). Les réponses devront être confirmées au moins 4 semaines après.
2- La durée de la réponse est mesurée à compter de la date d’enregistrement de d’une réponse (RC/RP) jusqu’à la date de documentation objective d’une première rechute ou progression, en se basant pour référence pour la progression, la plus petite mesure de taille tumorale enregistrée depuis l’initiation du traitement.
3 - Meilleure réponse globale définie par la meilleure réponse (RECIST v1.1) observée entre l’initiation et la fin du traitement. Elle est déterminée une fois que toutes les données pour un même patient sont connues.
4 - Survie sans progression (PFS) définie par le délai entre la date de début de traitement et la date du premier des évènements suivants : progression ou décès (quelle que soit la cause).
5 - La survie globale (OS) est définie par le délai entre la date de début de traitement et la date de décès (quelle que soit la cause).
6 - La réponse immunologique est définie selon les critères iRECIST de Seymour et al. 2017. L’analyse de la réponse immunologique sera basée sur la revue centralisée des données (en insu du traitement).
7 - Le profil de tolérance sera évalué selon l’échelle de sévérité de la NCI-CTCAE v5.0. Les évènements indésirables graves ou non graves seront codés selon le dictionnaire MedDRA. |
