Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Confirmed Objective Response Rate (cORR) According to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) Per Investigator Assessment
From start of study treatment until CR or PR (maximum up to 15.2 months)

cORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to RECIST v1.1. CR: disappearance of all target, non-target lesions, all lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 millimeter \[mm\] short axis), PR: at least 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum diameters persistence of one or more non-target lesions.

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)
Through 30-37 days following last dose of SEA-CD70; up to approximately 2 years

Any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigational participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Number of participants with laboratory abnormalities
Through 30-37 days following last dose of SEA-CD70; up to approximately 2 years

To be summarized using descriptive statistics.

Number of participants with a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) at each dose level (Parts A and D only)
Though end of DLT evaluation period; up to approximately 4 weeks

To be summarized using descriptive statistics.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment Related TEAEs, Greater Than or Equal to (>=) Grade 3 TEAEs, Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Event (TESAE), Treatment Related TESAE
From first dose of the study treatment (Day 1) up to approximately 18.5 months
Number of Participants With Grade Shift From Baseline to Maximum Post-Baseline in Serum Chemistry Laboratory Abnormalities Assessed by NCI CTCAE
Baseline up to approximately 15.8 months
Number of Participants With Grade Shift From Baseline to Maximum Post-Baseline in Hematology Parameters Assessed by NCI CTCAE
Baseline up to approximately 15.8 months

Frequently asked questions about SEA-CD70

What is SEA-CD70 used for?

SEA-CD70 is an investigational oncology therapy being studied in myeloid malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia. It is also being evaluated in melanoma. The drug is in Phase 2 development and has not been approved for any indication.

Who is developing SEA-CD70?

SEA-CD70 is being developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the sponsor of the clinical trials evaluating SEA-CD70 in myeloid malignancies and other cancers.

What phase is SEA-CD70 in?

SEA-CD70 is in Phase 2 clinical development. One Phase 1 trial and one Phase 2 trial have been conducted. The Phase 1 trial is active but not recruiting, and the Phase 2 trial has been completed. SEA-CD70 remains investigational and is not FDA approved.

What clinical trials is SEA-CD70 in?

SEA-CD70 has been studied in two registered clinical trials. NCT04227847 is a Phase 1 safety study in patients with myeloid malignancies, including myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myeloid leukemia, and is active but not recruiting. NCT04993677 is a completed Phase 2 study in melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer.

Is SEA-CD70 the same as SEA-CD40?

Yes, SEA-CD70 is also known as SEA-CD40. Both names refer to the same investigational agent developed by Pfizer. The alternative name SEA-CD40 appears in trial records and publications, so readers searching for either name are looking at the same drug asset.
