ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
Primary
Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic, Locally Advanced Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) Achieving Complete or Partial Response to Pexidartinib Compared With That of Placebo Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 at Week 25
Week 25
Complete response (CR) and partial responses (PR) were assessed based on centrally-read magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). A CR was defined as disappearance of all tumors and a PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target tumors using the baseline sum diameters as the reference.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline For Range of Motion (ROM) Score in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo Up to Week 25Baseline, Week 13, and Week 25
Range of motion (ROM) of the joint was assessed by a qualified, independent, and blinded or third-party assessors at the clinical site. Measurements were recorded in degrees. At baseline, the plane of movement with the smallest relative value (worst) was identified and this plane was used for evaluating the relative change of motion subsequently. Only the plane with the worst impaired ROM at baseline was selected for subsequent analyses.
Secondary
Percentage of Participants With Symptomatic, Locally Advanced Tenosynovial Giant Cell Tumor (TGCT) Achieving Complete or Partial Response Based on Tumor Volume Score (TVS) After Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo at Week 25
Week 25
Complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) were assessed using tumor volume score (TVS). A CR was defined as disappearance of all tumors and a PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target tumors using the baseline sum diameters as the reference. TVS is a semi-quantitative MRI scoring system that describes tumor mass and is based on 10% increments of the estimated volume of the maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath involved. A tumor that is equal in volume to that of a maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath was scored 10; a score of 0 indicated no evidence of tumor.
Secondary
Mean Change From Baseline in the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function Score in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo Up to Week 25
at Week 9 , Week 17, and Week 25
The Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) physical function scale was used to assess physical function of the upper and lower limbs. The scale ranged from 1 defined as 'unable to do' or 'cannot do' to 5 defined as 'without any difficulty' or 'not at all', where higher scores represent better outcomes.
SecondaryMean Change From Baseline for Worst Stiffness Numeric Rating Scale Score (NRS) in Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo Up to Week 25Baseline, Week 9, Week 17, and Week 25
The Worst Stiffness Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) was a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire assessing the "worst" stiffness in the last 24 hours. The NRS for this item ranged from 0 (no stiffness) to 10 (stiffness as bad as you can imagine).
Secondary
Percentage of Participants Who Responded With a Decrease of at Least 30% in the Mean Brief Pain Inventory Worst Pain Numeric Rating Scale Score Among Participants Receiving Pexidartinib Compared With Those on Placebo at Week 25
Week 25
The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Numeric Rating Scale Score (NRS) was a 1-item, self-administered questionnaire assessing the "worst" pain in the last 24 hours. The NRS for this item ranged from 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine).
SecondaryNumber of Responders to Pexidartinib With and Without Disease ProgressionBy Week 96
Duration of response (DOR) based on RECIST 1.1 is defined as the date of the first recorded response to the first date of documented disease progression. The overall number of responses and the number of participants with and without disease progression was assessed.
SecondaryNumber of Responders to Pexidartinib With and Without Disease Progression Based on Tumor Volume ScoreBy Week 120
Tumor Volume Score (TVS) is a semi-quantitative MRI scoring system that describes tumor mass and is based on 10% increments of the estimated volume of the maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath involved. A tumor that is equal in volume to that of a maximally distended synovial cavity or tendon sheath was scored 10; a score of 0 indicated no evidence of tumor. The overall number of responses and the number of participants with and without disease progression was assessed.
SecondaryDuration of Response (DOR) Based on RECIST 1.1Date of first documentation of objective response up to date of first documentation of progressive disease, assessed up to end of study (approximately 71 months)Duration of response (DOR) based on RECIST 1.1 is defined from the date of the first recorded evidence of response to the first date of documented disease progression.
