Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

All study parts: Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Up to approximately 2 years

Number of participants with AEs and SAEs, including changes in vital signs, electrocardiograms (ECGs) and laboratory values qualifying and reported as AEs.

All study parts: Incidence and severity of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
28 days

Number of participants with DLTs. A DLT is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or higher assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 28 days after DJI136 infusion and meets the criteria defined in the protocol. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

Phase II Group A: Overall response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years

Tumor response assessed by the investigator based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). ORR per RECIST v1.1 is defined as the proportion of patients with a confirmed best overall response of Complete response (CR) or Partial response (PR).

Secondary Endpoints

Phase I Part A and Phase II exploratory group: Overall response rate (ORR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years
Phase I Part A and Phase II: Disease control rate (DCR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years
Phase I Part A and Phase II: Duration of response (DOR) as per RECIST v1.1
Up to approximately 2 years
