Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Progression-free survival (PFS)
Up to 2 years

Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed by IRC per RECIST v1.1 in the ITT population.

Overall Survival (OS) in the ITT population
Up to 2 years
Objective response rates (ORR)
Up to approximately 2 years

ORR is the proportion of subjects with complete response(CR) or partial response(PR) , based on RECIST v1.1

Number of participants with adverse events (AEs)
Up to approximately 2 years

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

ORR
Up to 2 years
AE
From the subject signs the ICF to 30 days (AE) and 90 days (SAE) after the last dose of study treatment or initiation of other anti-tumor therapy, whichever occurs first,up to 2 years
Observed concentrations of AK112
through study completion, an average of 2 years
