Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Comparison of Progression Free Survival (PFS) Between Treatment Groups Using irRECIST and Evaluated by Independent Radiology.
PFS is the time from randomization until disease progression or death, whichever comes first.

PFS was based on central assessment by a blinded independent radiologist per immune related response evaluation criteria for solid tumors (irRECIST) and was summarized and displayed by treatment arm using Kaplan-Meier methods. Treatments were compared using a stratified log-rank test controlling for randomization stratification factors. The hazard ratio between the 2 treatment arms, as well as the associated one-sided 90% CI and p-value, were presented using a Cox proportional hazards regression model.

Overall Survival
Survival is measured from date of enrollment and randomization on the study until death from any cause, or if alive at last contact, date of last contact.

Comparison of duration of survival between the 2 treatment groups

Safety and identification of dose-limiting toxicities
Study duration
Pharmacokinetics
First dose of investigational drug

Secondary Endpoints

Comparison of Adverse Events (AEs) Between the Two Treatment Groups.
AEs were collected from the first dose of study drug given on Cycle 1 Day 1 until 7 days after the dose of study drug or End of Treatment visit, whichever occurred first. Overall mean duration of exposure was 25.3 weeks.
Comparison of Overall Survival (OS) Between the 2 Treatment Groups.
OS is the time from randomization until death due to any cause or the date last confirmed to be alive.
Comparison of the Objective Response Rate Between the Two Treatment Groups p
From the time of randomization until the best response on treatment is documented.

ArmTypeDescription
chemotherapy and cetuximab plus VTX-2337EXPERIMENTALVTX-2337 (3.0 mg/m2) will be administered on Day 8 and Day 15 of a 21-day cycle for 6 cycles, followed by dosing on Days 8 and 22 of 28-day cycles until disease progression. Cisplatin (100 mg/m2) OR carboplatin (AUC 5 mg/mL/min) will be administered on Day 1 of a 21-day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. 5-FU (1000 mg/m2) will be administered on Days 1-4 of a 21-day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles. Cetuximab (initial dose: 400 mg/m2; remaining doses: 250 mg/m2) will be administered weekly until disease progression.
chemotherapy and cetuximab plus placeboACTIVE_COMPARATORPlacebo (3.0 mg/m2) will be administered on Day 8 and Day 15 of a 21-day cycle for 6 cycles, followed by dosing on Days 8 and 22 of 28-day cycles until disease progression.

Cetuximab (initial dose: 400 mg/m2; remaining doses: 250 mg/m2) will be administered weekly until disease progression.
PLD 40 mg/m2 plus VTX-2337EXPERIMENTALThe dosing schedule will be be based on a 28-day cycle. The starting dose schedule is PLD on Day 1 plus VTX-2337 on Day 3, Day 10, and Day 17 for the first 4 cycles. Starting with cycle 5, the dose regimen will be PLD on Day 1 plus VTX-2337 on Day 3 only, without additional doses of VTX-2337 on Days 10 and Day 17.
PLD 40 mg/m2 plus placeboACTIVE_COMPARATORThe dosing schedule will be based on a 28-day cycle. The starting dose schedule is PLD on Day 1 plus placebo on Day 3, Day 10, and Day 17 for the first 4 cycles. Starting with cycle 5, the dose regimen will be PLD on Day 1 plus placebo on Day 3 only.

Frequently asked questions about VTX-2337

What is VTX-2337 used for?

VTX-2337 has been studied in oncology for advanced solid tumors, squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, and epithelial ovarian cancer. Clinical trials have evaluated it in recurrent or metastatic head and neck cancer and in recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Who is developing VTX-2337?

VTX-2337 is being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, which trades under the ticker BMY. The company is the sponsor associated with the clinical development program for this agent.

What phase is VTX-2337 in?

VTX-2337 has completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. It is an investigational agent and is not approved by the FDA. The Phase 1 study evaluated safety and pharmacology in patients with advanced cancer, while Phase 2 studies assessed it in head and neck and ovarian cancers.

What clinical trials is VTX-2337 in?

VTX-2337 has been evaluated in three completed trials: NCT01836029 in recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, NCT01666444 in recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, and NCT00688415 in advanced solid tumors and lymphoma.

What is VTX-2337 used for in head and neck cancer?

VTX-2337 was studied in combination with chemotherapy plus cetuximab in patients with recurrent or metastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck. This was evaluated in the completed Phase 2 trial NCT01836029, which enrolled 195 patients in the United States.

What is VTX-2337 used for in ovarian cancer?

VTX-2337 was studied in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin in patients with recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. This was assessed in the completed Phase 2 trial NCT01666444, which enrolled 297 female patients aged 18 years and older.
