Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Tumor assessments were performed every 3 cycles (each cycle was 21 days), for up to 15.6 months.

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on treatment based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions.

Parts 1/2: Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03
3 months to 3 years

The standard assessments used to assign a score to any affected organ system as per the NCI CTCAE 4.03 will be conduced at each protocol-specified timepoint.

Part 3 Arm B
3 months to 3 years

To determine the 1-year survival rate of patients treated on the 9-ING-41 schedule chosen from the run-in stage of the study compared to the control arm

Secondary Endpoints

Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Tumor assessments were performed every 9 weeks for up to 20.2 months.
Median Overall Survival (OS)
Up to 38.1 months
Duration of Response (DOR)
Tumor assessments were performed every 3 cycles (each cycle was 21 days), for up to 15.6 months.
