Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of XNW5004 in Combination With KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) (Phase 1b Only)
Recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of XNW5004 as administered orally twice daily (BID), continuously in 21-day cycles, in combination with KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in subjects with advanced solid tumors by safety data, pharmacokinetic data, pharmacodynamic data and efficacy data
Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Phase 2)
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have a confirmed complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR) per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)
Secondary outcomes
ORR(Phase 1b)
ORR is defined as the proportion of subjects who have a confirmed CR or a PR per RECIST 1.1.
Duration of response (DOR)(Phase 1b and Phase 2)
DOR is defined defined as the length of time from the date of first confirmed CR or PR per RECIST 1.1(whichever status is recorded first) to the date of first evaluation of progressive disease, or death due to any reasons.
Progression free survival (PFS) (Phase 1b and Phase 2)
PFS is defined as the the length of time from the date of first administration of the study drug until the date of disease progression or death.
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events(AE) (Phase 2)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a study drug and an AE can therefore be any symptom, disease or an abnormal laboratory finding, whether or not related to the investigational product. Severity of AEs is assessed according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version (CTCAE 5.0).
