NCT ID: NCT03976102

Last Updated: 2024-01-22

Results Overview

Best Overall Response Rate (BORR) is defined as the proportion of participants in each treatment group that achieved a best overall response of either Complete response (CR), unconfirmed Complete response (CRu) or Partial response (PR), up to Month 7 (Week 28) based on central radiology review in accordance with the Cheson, 1999 response criteria for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas. As per Cheson 1999, response criteria for target lesions and assessed by radiology: Complete response (CR): All lesions with a longest diameter should be regressed to normal size (≤ 15 mm) or short axis regressed to ≤ 10 mm with confirmed Bone marrow normalization; unconfirmed Complete response (CRu): All lesions with a longest diameter should be regressed to normal size (≤ 15 mm) or short axis regressed to ≤ 10 mm with non-confirmed Bone marrow normalization; Partial Response (PR): ≥ 50 % decrease of sum of products of diameter(SPD) of all the target lesions; Overall Response (OR)=CR+CRu+PR.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 52

Population: The ITT Analysis Set included all randomized participants. The number analyzed are the participants with complete response, unconfirmed complete response or partial response.

Duration of response (DOR) defined as the time from date of the first documentation of tumor response (Complete Response, unconfirmed complete response or partial response) to the date of first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or to death due to any cause up to 52 weeks/ End of study (EOS). Progression is defined as per Cheson 1999, response criteria is: Target Nodal SPD Progression: at least one node must be abnormal, and the SPD of all nodes must increase by ≥ 50% from its nadir SPD. Target Extranodal SPD Progression: at least one extranodal lesion must be present and the SPD of all extranodal lesions must increase by ≥ 50% from its nadir SPD. Also, if a patient had any unequivocal progression in non-target lesions; and detection of any new nodal lesion (longest diameter \[LDi\] 15mm with an absolute increase of 5mm) his/her response was considered as Progressive disease.
