E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is PFS, defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of first confirmed disease progression, as defined in the IMWG criteria, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
From the date of randomization to the date of first confirmed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
CR conversion is defined as the proportion of participants who were not in CR or better at the time of randomization but later went on to achieve CR or better while on study treatment. MDR negative conversion is defined as the proportion of participants who were assessed as MRD positive at the time of randomization but later achieved MRD negative status while on study treatment. CR or better (sCR+CR) is defined as participants who achieve a CR or better response per IMWG criteria. MRD negative CR is defined as participants who achieve CR or better and are MRD negative before initiation of subsequent therapy. Sustained MRD negativity is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve MRD-negative CR, confirmed minimum 1 year apart and without any examination showing MRD-positive status in between. OS will be measured from the date of randomization to the date of the participant’s death. If the participant is alive or the vital status is unknown, then the participant’s data will be censored at the date the participant was last known to be alive. PFS2 is defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and date of event, which is defined as progressive disease as assessed by investigator on the first subsequent line of antimyeloma therapy, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Those who are alive and for whom a second disease progression has not been observed will be censored at the last date of follow-up. TTNT is defined as the time from randomization to the start of subsequent antimyeloma treatment. Death due to progressive disease without start of subsequent therapy will be considered as event. Participants who withdrew full consent to study or are lost to follow-up, or die due to causes other than disease progression will be censored at the date of death or the last date known to be alive. Incidence and severity of AEs The PK of teclistamab will be assessed. Presence and activity of ADAs to teclistamab Time to worsening in overall HRQoL, symptoms, and functioning Change from baseline in overall HRQoL, symptoms, and functioning PFS, depth of response, etc will be determined in participants with high-risk molecular features as defined by IMWG criteria As part of the PROs, treatment effect will be assessed by change from baseline in overall HRQoL symptoms and functioning at each time point summarized by treatment arm. Time to worsening of symptoms will be measured as the interval from the date of randomization to the start date of worsening. Death due to disease progression will be considered as worsening. Participants who have not met the definition of worsening will be censored as of the last assessment date. The analysis methods for binary endpoints (eg, CR/sCR, and MRD negativity) will be conducted using stratified Cochran Mantel Haenszel tests. Mantel Haenszel odds ratios will be provided along with 2-sided 95% CIs, as the measure of treatment effect. For time-to-event endpoints (eg, PFS2, TTNT, OS, and time to worsening of symptoms), similar statistical methods will be applied as for PFS. Longitudinal analysis will be performed for PROs assessed over time. Incidence of AE and incidence of ADA will be summarized. Separate summaries of AE and ADA will be provided for SRI1 and SRI2 cohorts. EXPLORATORY ENDOPOINTS: To compare the rates of deepening of responses in maintenance Tec-Len and Tec compared with Len.
