Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 3

  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD): based on the incidence of DLTs observed at the end of Cycle 1 (28 days).
  2. Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D): dose used in subsequent Expansion phase. The RP2D will be determined in discussion with the Investigators and the Sponsor based on safety (dose limiting toxicity), PK, PD, and any cumulative toxicity after multiple cycles.
  3. Overall response rate (ORR) for CLL, MM and Lymphomas, respectively.

Secondary endpoints 7

  1. Duration of response (DoR), defined as the time from documentation of disease response to disease progression.
  2. Time to progression (TTP), time from the first treatment day to objective disease progression; does not include deaths.
  3. Progression-free survival (PFS) defined as the interval between the first treatment day to the first sign of disease progression or death from any cause.
  4. Event-free survival (EFS) defined as the interval time between the first treatment day to disease progression, death, or discontinuation of treatment from any cause (e.g., toxicity, patient preference, or initiation of a new treatment without documented progression).
  5. Overall survival (OS) defined as the interval between the first treatment day to death from any cause.
  6. Safety endpoints: Vital signs, Physical examination, Hematology, Biochemistry, Urinalysis, Electrocardiograms (ECG), All grades AEs and SAEs
  7. Pharmacokinetics parameters: AUClast, Cmax, CL, Css, Ctrough, Ke, t1/2, Tmax, Vd

Event description
On 30th May 2025, in the long-term stability study of clinical batch no. 2400, the out of specification (OOS) for visible particles have been recorded at 6 months testing timepoint in 7 of 10 inverted samples. All the samples of this batch available at the manufacturing site (stock) and at the clinical sites have been visually examined (in total 332 of samples), and no visible particles were found. The investigation is ongoing, and the report from the CRO will be available in three weeks. It should be stressed that no visible particles have been reported in the previously performed stability studies on the technical (pilot) batch no. PFD024/05 and 1st clinical batch no. PFD024/9 studies. The batch no. 2400 was used in two patients in the CASSANDRA study with no significant adverse events, and both remain under treatment. To continue the trial safely, samples will be visually examined and filtered by 0.22-micron filter before use, starting 3rd June, 2025. These measures effectively mitigate risk, allowing the study to continue with no safety concerns. The Sponsor will keep AEMPS informed and take regulatory action if needed.
Measures taken
1. The analytical CRO responsible for drug stability study will continue the investigation related to the visible particles detected in the stability studies in order to identify the root of cause and determine suitable actions to prevent such events in the future.
2. It was confirmed that the drug has been well tolerated and no significant AEs event drug-related were reported for two patients to whom the batch no. 2400 has been administered before detecting the OOS in the stability samples. The health state of two patients will be kept monitored.
3. All the samples will be visually examined at the hospital sites before dose preparation and only those which do not present any visible particles will be used. Furthermore, an extra filtration step with 0.22-micron filter will be added before administration at the clinical sites. The implemented actions have been communicated to the hospitals sites and have been applied from 3rd June 2025
Justification
Update notification on 22 December 2025:
The sponsor hereby submits a Risk Assessment report on the Detection of visible particles during Stability study of IDP-121 DP.
The report outlines the technical investigation, risk evaluation, mitigation strategies, and proposed next steps to ensure the continued safe use of IDP-121 in clinical development and prevent future recurrence.
