Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Number of Participants Reporting One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From signing of the informed consent form (ICF) through 30 days after last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 1 year 1 month for Phase 1b and 2 years 1 month for Phase 2)
Adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and within 30 days of the last administration of study drug.
PrimaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs
From signing of the ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 1 year 1 month for Phase 1b and 2 years 1 month for Phase 2)
TEAEs Grades were evaluated as per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0. (NCI CTCAE v5), where Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living (ADL). Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death related to AE.
PrimaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)Cycle 1 (Cycle length is equal to [=] 21 days)
A DLT was defined as any of the following AEs that occurred in the escalation phase or in the combination safety lead-in phase during Cycle 1 unless they were considered by the investigator to be clearly unrelated to therapy with modakafusp alfa according to NCI CTCAE version 5.0. Any Grade 5 TEAE. Febrile neutropenia: Grade \>=3 or 4 neutropenia. Grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Grade \>=3 thrombocytopenia. Any Grade 3 immune-related AEs such as pericarditis, pneumonitis, cardiotoxicity, hepatitis, or neurotoxicity. Delay in the initiation of Cycle 2 by more than 14 days from the calculated start date due to a lack of adequate recovery of treatment-related hematological or nonhematologic toxicities. Any Grade \>=3 nonhematologic toxicity with some exception. Any Grade 2 nonhematologic toxicity that was considered by the investigator to be related to study drug and dose-limiting.
PrimaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Number of Participants Reporting One or More Serious Adverse Event (SAEs)From signing of the ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug even if the participants start non-protocol systemic therapy (up to 1 year 1 month for Phase 1b and 2 years 1 month for Phase 2)
SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of an existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; was a medically important event that might not result in death, be immediately life-threatening, or required hospitalization, but might be considered serious when, on the basis of appropriate medical judgment, it might jeopardize the participant, required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above, or involves suspected transmission via a medicinal product of an infectious agent.
PrimaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Number of Participants With One or More TEAEs Leading to Dose Modifications and Treatment Discontinuations
From signing of the ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 1 year 1 month for Phase 1b and 2 years 1 month for Phase 2)
TEAE was defined as any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and within 30 days of the last administration of study drug.
PrimaryPhase 2 Expansion: Overall Response Rate (ORR) Based on RECIST v1.1From the first dose of study drug up to end of treatment or end of study (up to 2 years)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumor (RECIST) version 1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to less than (\<) 10 millimeter (mm). PR: At least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
SecondaryPhase 1b: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Modakafusp AlfaCycle 1 (Cycle length = 21 days)The MTD was selected as the highest dose which has maximum probability of being in targeted toxicity interval.
SecondaryPhase 1b and Phase 2 Safety Lead-in: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) for Single Agent (SA) Modakafusp Alfa in Phase 1b and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Phase 2 Safety Lead-inCycle 1 (Cycle length = 21 days)
The RP2D of modakafusp alfa as a single agent or in combination with pembrolizumab was determined based on safety (including DLTs), pharmacokinetic and clinical data. DLT was graded according to CTCAE v5.0.
SecondaryPhase 2 Expansion: Number of Participants Reporting One or More TEAEsFrom signing of the ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 2 years 1 month)
AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product; the untoward medical occurrence did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A TEAE was any AE either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug and within 30 days of the last administration of study drug.
SecondaryPhase 2 Expansion: Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEsFrom signing of the ICF through 30 days after last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 2 years 1 month)
TEAEs Grades were evaluated as per the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0. (NCI CTCAE v5), where Grade 3: Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care activities of daily living (ADL). Grade 4: Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5: Death related to AE.
