Trial design
CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding
Main objective
Scope: Efficacy, Others, Safety
To evaluate the efficacy of Pola-R-GemOx compared with R-GemOx alone on basis of the overall survival (OS) (Stage 2) To evaluate the safety and tolerability of Polatuzumab Vedotin (Pola)-R-GemOx as a combination therapy on basis of incidence, nature and severity of physical findings and adverse events (AEs), with a specific focus on peripheral neuropathy (PN), according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 5 (NCI CTCAE v5.0) (Stage 1)
Secondary objectives 4
- To evaluate safety and tolerability of Pola-R-GemOx as a combination therapy compared to R-GemOx, on the basis of incidence and assessment of peripheral neuropathy, tolerability, prevalence of anti-drug antibodies (ADA), incidence/nature/severity of AEs (Stage 1, 2)
- To evaluate efficacy of Pola-R-GemOx compared to R-GemOx alone, on the basis of complete response (CR), objective response rate (ORR), best overall response (BOR), progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS) (Stage 1, 2), OS (Pola-R-GemOx)- (Stage 1), duration of OR (DOR) (Stage 2)
- To evaluate immunogenicity of polatuzumab vedotin, on the basis of prevalence of ADAs (Stage 1, 2)
- To evaluate the impact of treatment, disease on aspects of health-related quality of life (Stage 2)
