Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival at 18 weeks
18 weeks
Phase 2a: Composite Response Rate (CRR)
Up to approximately 4 years and 4 months

CRR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved 1 or more of the following: objective response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) criteria; ≥50% decline from baseline in serum Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA); or Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) conversion from ≥5/7.5 milliliters (mL) to \<5/7.5 mL per Veridex assay. Objective response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) among participants with evaluable lesions by RECIST v1.1. CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR = ≥30% decrease in the sum of diameters (SOD) of target lesions compared to baseline and no new non-target lesion.

Phase 2b: Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Up to approximately 4 years and 4 months

The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed CR or PR among participants with evaluable lesions by RECIST v1.1. CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR = ≥30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions compared to baseline and no new non-target lesion.

Phase 2A (Adenocarcinoma): Talabostat + Pembrolizumab 200 mgEXPERIMENTALParticipants with adenocarcinoma will receive the combination of talabostat 0.6 mg QD orally on Days 1 to 14 a 21-day cycle plus pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. There will be a 7-day rest period following the last dose of talabostat and Day 1 of the subsequent cycle.
Phase 2B (Adenocarcinoma): Talabostat + Pembrolizumab 200 mgEXPERIMENTALParticipants with adenocarcinoma will receive the combination of talabostat 0.6 mg QD orally on Days 1 to 14 a 21-day cycle plus pembrolizumab 200 mg IV on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle. There will be a 7-day rest period following the last dose of talabostat and Day 1 of the subsequent cycle.
Phase 2B (Adenocarcinoma): Talabostat MonotherapyEXPERIMENTALParticipants with adenocarcinoma will receive talabostat 0.6 mg QD orally on Days 1 to 14 a 21-day cycle. There will be a 7-day rest period following the last dose of talabostat and Day 1 of the subsequent cycle.
