ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPhase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS), as Determined by the Local Investigator Using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1)From date of randomization to PD or death due to any cause (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
PFS was defined as the number of months from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study. In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 millimeters (mm); the appearance of one or more new lesions; and unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
PrimaryPhase 1b: Number of Participants With at Least One Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Adverse Event (AE)Day 1 through Day 28 (Cycles 1 and 2)
A DLT was defined as the occurrence of any protocol-specified event within the first 2 cycles of treatment (from Cycle 1 Day 1 through the end of Cycle 2) of entinostat in combination with avelumab that were considered by the investigator to be at least possibly related to study drug.
SecondaryPhase 1b: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)Day 1 through Day 28 (Cycles 1 and 2)
The RP2D was determined in discussion with the Sponsor, Medical Monitor, and Dose Determination Phase Investigators. Additionally, observations related to immune correlates, and any cumulative toxicity observed after multiple cycles might be included in the rationale supporting the RP2D. The RP2D could be equal to or less than the preliminary maximum tolerated dose (MTD). The MTD was defined as the highest dose level at which \<33% of 6 participants experienced DLT.
SecondaryPhase 2: PFS, as Determined by the Local Investigator Using Immune Response RECIST (irRECIST)From date of randomization to PD or death due to any cause (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
PFS was defined as the number of months from randomization to PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PD: Sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, shortest for nodal lesions) of target and new measurable lesions increases ≥20% (compared to nadir), confirmed by a repeat, consecutive observation at least 4 weeks from the date first documented.
SecondaryPhase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR), as Assessed Using RECIST 1.1From date of randomization to date of progression (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). CR: Disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalisation of tumour marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
SecondaryPhase 2: ORR, as Assessed Using irRECISTFrom date of randomization to date of progression (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
The ORR was defined as the percentage of participants with confirmed CR or PR. CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions (whether measurable or not) and no new lesions. All measurable lymph nodes also must have a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, shortest for nodal lesions) of target and new measurable lesions decreases ≥30%.
SecondaryPhase 2: Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR), as Assessed Using RECIST 1.1From date of randomization to date of progression (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
The CBR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) lasting for at least 6 months. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalisation of tumour marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
SecondaryPhase 2: CBR, as Assessed Using irRECISTFrom date of randomization to date of progression (maximum exposure: 24 cycle [each cycle = 14 days])
The CBR was defined as the percentage of participants with a confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting for at least 6 months. CR: Complete disappearance of all lesions (whether measurable or not) and no new lesions. All measurable lymph nodes also must have a reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. PR: Sum of the diameters (longest for non-nodal lesions, shortest for nodal lesions) of target and new measurable lesions decreases ≥30%. SD: Sum of the diameters (longest for nonnodal lesions, shortest for nodal lesions) of target and new measurable lesions neither CR, PR, (compared to baseline) or PD (compared to nadir).
SecondaryPhase 2: Overall SurvivalFrom date of randomization to the date of death (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])Overall survival was defined as the number of months from randomization to the date of death (due to any cause).
SecondaryPhase 2: Duration of ResponseFrom start date of CR or PR to date of progression (maximum exposure: 24 cycles [each cycle = 14 days])
Duration of response was defined as the number of months from the start date of PR or CR (whichever response occurred first) and subsequently confirmed, to the first date that recurrent or progressive disease was documented. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to \<10 mm. Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalisation of tumour marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (\<10 mm short axis). PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study .In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of one or more new lesions; and unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.
