Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Phase 1: Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (maximum treatment duration: up to 32.7 months)

An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of study drugs, whether considered related to study drugs or not. TEAE was an AE that has an onset date or a worsening in severity from baseline on or after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days following study drug discontinuation or initiation of the first new systemic anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability, was a congenital anomaly or was considered a medically significant. Severity of AEs was assessed according to National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v.5.0, which consists of: Grade 1 Mild; Grade 2 Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life-threatening; Grade 5: Death due to AE.

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Administered Dose (MAD) of Surzebiclimab in Combination With Tislelizumab
Up to 28 days

The MAD was defined as the highest dose administered, where all dose levels were tolerated during dose escalation. The MTD was not reached in Phase 1, therefore the MAD was reported.

Phase 1: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of Surzebiclimab in Combination With Tislelizumab
Up to 28 days

The RP2D or recommended dose for expansion of the combination treatment was determined based upon the MTD or MAD, and also considered the long-term tolerability, PK, efficacy, and any other relevant data as available.

Phase 2 (Safety Lead-In): Number of Participants With TEAEs and SAEs
Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug (maximum duration of treatment: up to 19.6 months in Cohort A and up to 21.5 months in Cohort B)

An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with the use of study drugs, whether considered related to study drugs or not. TEAE was an AE that has an onset date or a worsening in severity from baseline on or after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days following study drug discontinuation or initiation of the first new systemic anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, resulted in death, was life-threatening, required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in disability, was a congenital anomaly or was considered a medically significant. Severity of AEs was assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v.5.0, which consists of: Grade 1 Mild; Grade 2 Moderate; Grade 3: Severe; Grade 4: Life-threatening; Grade 5: Death due to AE.

Phase 2 (Safety Lead-In): MTD or MAD of Alcestobart in Combination With Tislelizumab
Up to 21 days

The MAD was defined as the highest dose administered, where all dose levels were tolerated during dose escalation. The MTD was not reached in Phase 2, therefore the MAD was reported.

Phase 2 (Safety Lead-In): MTD or MAD of Alcestobart in Combination With Surzebiclimab and Tislelizumab
Up to 21 days

The MAD was defined as the highest dose administered, where all dose levels were tolerated during dose escalation. The MTD was not reached in Phase 2, therefore the MAD was reported.

Phase 2 (Safety Lead-In): RP2D of Alcestobart in Combination With Surzebiclimab and Tislelizumab
Up to 21 days

The RP2D or recommended dose for expansion of the combination treatment was determined based upon the MTD or MAD, and also considered the long-term tolerability, PK, efficacy, and any other relevant data as available.

Phase 2 (Dose Expansion): Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Maximum time on study: Cohort 1: up to 31.3 months, Cohort 2: up to 32.0 months, Cohort 4: up to11.3 months, Cohort 5: up to 15.9 months

ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who had complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v)1.1., CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeters (mm). PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Secondary Endpoints

Phase 1: Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Maximum time on study: up to 57.5 months
Phase 2 (Safety Lead- In): Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Maximum time on study: Cohort A: up to 22.1 months; Cohort B: up to 21.5 months
Phase 1: Disease Control Rate (DCR)
Maximum time on study: up to 57.5 months
