Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Recurrence-Free survival (RFS)
8.1 years from first patient in

RFS is defined as the time between randomization and local recurrence, distant recurrence, or death, whichever occurs first

Overall Survival (OS)
Up to ~4 years

OS is the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Estimate the rate of molecular response (MR) to tebentafusp in each of 2 cohorts A. Cutaneous melanoma with MRD B. Uveal melanoma with MRD
ctDNA taken at baseline until end of treatment (maximum of 6 months)

Best response to treatment, with partial molecular response (pMR) defined as a decrease in the allele frequency of the index mutation(s), and complete molecular response (cMR) as no detectable mutation(s)

Change in ctDNA response
At Baseline, at Week 10 of each 12-week cycle, Up to 24 months]

ctDNA response (defined as ≥0.3 log reduction) in ctDNA-evaluable patients as measured using Signatera assay.

Regression of primary uveal melanoma after Tebentafusp treatment in 20% of treated patients.
3 months post-eye treatment

Regression is defined as ≥ 20% reduction in tumor volume. All estimates of rates will be presented with corresponding 95% exact confidence intervals. For regression rate, the method of Atkinson and Brown will be used to allow for the two-stage design.

Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Up to 24 months

Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined as the elapsed time in months from the first date of study treatment until documented disease progression, per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 or death from any cause, whichever is earlier. For participants who remain alive without progression, follow-up time will be censored at the date of last disease assessment.

Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Related Adverse Events
Up to 24 months

The number of participants experiencing treatment-related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) in participants receiving protocol therapy will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 5, per physician discretion.

Efficacy: Overall Survival
From randomization to the data cut off date of 13-Oct-2020; median follow-up duration was 14.1 months.

Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to date of death due to any cause.

Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in Phase 1
Up to 49 months

Number of participants with a dose limiting toxicity, defined as an adverse event (AE) or abnormal laboratory value assessed as having a suspected relationship to study drug, and unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first cycle of treatment and meets any of the pre-specified criteria.

Objective Response Rate in Phase 2
Up to 38 months

Objective response rate (ORR) is defined as the percentage of participants with measurable disease with at least 1 visit response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) that is confirmed at least 4 weeks later, as defined in RECIST v.1.1 and assessed by an independent central review (ICR). The denominator in the calculation of the ORR is the number of participants in the full analysis set with measurable disease at baseline.

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of IMCgp100 Administered Weekly (Dose Escalation Part)
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) for IMCgp100 administered by weekly dosing was determined based on the frequency of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) occurring during Days 1 to 8. Participants presented at MTD in the dose escalation phase. Abbreviations: ng/kg=nanograms/kilogram

MTD of IMCgp100 Administered Daily (Dose Escalation Part)
Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 8

The MTD for IMCgp100 administered by daily dosing was determined based on the frequency of DLT occurring during Days 1 to 8. The 50 mcg dose was the RP2D for daily dosing, as the MTD was not achieved. Abbreviations: mcg=micrograms

Day 1 (first dose), 30 days after the last dose

Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as adverse events (AEs) with an onset date after the date of first dose and within 30 days after the last administration of study medication in either treatment arm. AEs with missing date of onset were considered treatment emergent.
