Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Proportion of complete responses to therapy (complete metabolic response [CMR])
At completion of study treatment

Measured according to Lugano criteria. A success is defined as a CMR as the objective status at the end of treatment. The proportion of successes will be estimated by the number of successes divided by the total number of evaluable patients. 9% confidence intervals for the true success proportion will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.

Secondary Endpoints

Minimal residual disease (MRD) rate
Up to completion of study treatment
MRD rate
Up to completion of study treatment
Incidence of adverse events
Up to 30 days post-treatment
