ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPhase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose of PEN-221 and Recommended Phase 2a Dose (RP2D)Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort
MTD was determined by testing increasing doses up to 25 mg flat dose IV over 1 hour on an every 3 week cycle on dose escalation cohorts 1 to 7 with 2 participants in cohort 1 and 3-6 participants each in cohorts 2-7. The MTD was defined as the highest drug dosage not causing a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in \> 33% of the treated participants during the first cycle of treatment. DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. The RP2D was established by achieving the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The RP2D may be equal to or below the MTD.
PrimaryPhase 1: Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Up to 4 weeks in the first cohort and up to 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort
DLTs were defined as any Grade 3 or 4 adverse event (AE) using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.03 occurring within the first 4 weeks for cohort 1 and within 3 weeks for each subsequent cohort that was not related to underlying disease, disease progression, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications. Grade 3 is a severe AE and Grade 4 is a life-threatening or disabling AE. DLTs were collected to determine the Maximum-Tolerated Dose (MTD), which is defined as the dose level below the dose at which \> 33% of participants experienced a DLT during the first cycle of treatment.
PrimaryPhase 2a: Percentage of Gastrointestinal Mid-gut NETs and Pancreatic NETs Participants Who Achieved Clinical Benefit as Determined by RECIST 1.1Baseline and every 9 weeks up to time of disease progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).
Efficacy of PEN-221 in gastrointestinal mid-gut NETs and pancreatic NETs using clinical benefit rate (CBR) defined as the best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) according to RECIST 1.1 using the investigator assessment.
PrimaryPhase 2a: Number of Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Participants Who Achieved an Objective Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) as Defined by RECIST 1.1.Baseline and every 6 weeks up to time of disease progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).Efficacy of PEN-221 in Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) using objective response rate (ORR) as defined as the best overall response of CR or PR using tumor response criteria defined by RECIST 1.1.
PrimaryPhase 2a: Duration of Response (DOR) for Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC)From the date of first treatment through the date of first documented progression, assessed up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).
Duration of Response (DOR) is defined as the time from the first documented response (CR or PR), as assessed by the investigator, to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer. If patient did not progress or die before the data cutoff date (31-July-2020), DOR was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
SecondaryNumber of Study Participants Who Experienced Treatment-Emergent Adverse EventsFrom date of first treatment/trial entry until 28 days after last treatment for each participant, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).
Phase 1 and Phase 2a participants who experienced any Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) to determine the safety and tolerability of PEN-221. TEAEs are any AE that occurred after first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose of study drug, any event considered study drug related regardless of start date of the event, or any event that was present at baseline but worsened in intensity or was subsequently considered study drug related by the Investigator. Phase 2a TEAEs were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only.
SecondaryMaximum Concentration (Cmax) of PEN-221, DM1, and Peptide
Phase 1: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 pre-start of infusion (SOI), at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours post-start of infusion. Phase 2a: Day 1 Cycle 1 pre-start of infusion, at 0.5,1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-SOI; once at Day 8 Cycle 1.
Blood samples were obtained and plasma concentrations were determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods. Phase 2a data were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only.
SecondaryArea Under the Curve (AUC) of PEN-221, DM1, and Peptide
Phase 1: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 pre-start of infusion (SOI), at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours post-start of infusion. Phase 2a: Day 1 Cycle 1 pre-start of infusion, at 0.5,1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-SOI; once at Day 8 Cycle 1.
Blood samples were obtained and plasma concentrations were determined using validated liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods. Phase 2a data were collected for reporting in the BSA dosing format only.
SecondaryHalf-life (t1/2) of PEN-221, DM1, and Peptide
Phase 1: Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 3 pre-start of infusion (SOI), at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 hours post-start of infusion. Phase 2a: Day 1 Cycle 1 pre-start of infusion, at 0.5,1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post-SOI; once at Day 8 Cycle 1.

SecondaryPhase 1: Number of Participants With a Best Response of an Objective Response, Stable Disease, or Progressive Disease.Baseline, every 6 or 9 weeks depending on the tumor type, up to time of disease progression (per RECIST 1.1) or death, up to data cut-off (31 Jul 2020).Assess the potential of preliminary anti-tumor activity of PEN-221 using tumor response criteria as defined by RECIST 1.1.
