Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Per RECIST v 1.1 Using Central Assessment - Number of Participants With Progression or Death
PFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of event defined as the first documented confirmed progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor response was based on central review of tumor scan and the assessment criteria was Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline. Number of participants in each category (progression, death, censored) is reported in this record.
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Per RECIST v 1.1 Using Central Assessment - Median PFS
PFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of event defined as the first documented confirmed progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor response was based on central review of tumor scan and the assessment criteria was Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). Progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from date of randomization to date of death due to any cause. If a patient is not known to have died, survival is censored at the date of last known date the patient was alive.
Overall Response Rate (ORR) as Per RECIST v 1.1
ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR). Tumor response was based on central review of overall lesion response according to RECIST 1.1. For RECIST v1.1, CR=Disappearance of all non-nodal target lesions. In addition, any pathological lymph nodes assigned as target lesions must have a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm; PR= At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameter of all target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters.
Duration of Response (DOR) as Per RECIST v 1.1
DOR only applies to subjects for whom best overall response is complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) based on central review of overall lesion response according to RECIST 1.1. DOR is defined as the time between the date of first documented response (confirmed CR or confirmed PR) and the date of first documented disease progression or death due to underlying cancer. If a patient not had an event, duration was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment.
Time to Progression (TTP) as Per RECIST v 1.1
TTP is defined as time from date of randomization to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to underlying cancer. If a subject did not had an event, TTP was censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor response was based on central review of tumor scan and the assessment criteria was RECIST v1.1. Progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameter of all measured target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameter of all target lesions recorded at or after baseline.
Immune-related Progression-free Survival (irPFS) as Per irRC
irPFS is the time from the date of randomization to the date of event defined as the first documented progression or death due to any cause. If a patient has not had an event, progression-free survival is censored at the date of last adequate tumor assessment. Tumor response was based on central review of tumor scan and the assessment criteria was immune-related Response Criteria (irRC). Immune-related progressive disease is at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of all measured target lesions including new measurable lesions.
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Cmax is defined as the maximum (peak) observed serum concentration following a dose.
Time to Reach Maximum Serum Concentration (Tmax) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Tmax is defined as the time to reach maximum (peak) serum concentration following a dose. Actual recorded sampling times were considered for the calculations.
Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to the End of the Dosing Interval Tau (AUCtau) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. The linear trapezoidal method was used for AUC calculation. The duration of the dosing interval (tau) was 28 days.
Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve From Time Zero to Infinity (AUCinf) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. The linear trapezoidal method was used for AUC calculation. The extrapolation of AUC to infinity could be calculated if the percentage of area extrapolated was less than 20% and the regression analysis of the terminal serum elimination phase met a pre-defined criteria of goodness of fit.
Accumulation Ratio (Racc) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Racc was calculated as the ratio between AUCtau Cycle 3 and AUCtau Cycle 1.
Terminal Elimination Half-life (T1/2) of Spartalizumab
Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were calculated based on spartalizumab serum concentrations by using non-compartmental methods. Elimination half-life (T1/2) values were calculated as 0.693/terminal elimination rate constant.
Number of Participants With Anti-spartalizumab Antibodies
Validated immunoassays were used for screening and confirmation of the presence of anti-spartalizumab antibodies (ADA, anti-drug antibodies) in serum. Number of participants with each ADA status is reported in this record.
PD-L1 Percent Positive Tumor
The expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) was measured in tumor samples by immunohistochemical methods. This record summarizes the PD-L1 positivity percentage in tumor samples.
Percent Marker Area for CD8 Expression in Tumor Samples
The expression of CD8 was measured in tumor samples by immunohistochemical methods. This record summarizes the percent marker area for CD8 expression in tumor samples.

The count of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) was measured in baseline (screening) and post-baseline paired tumor samples by immunohistochemical methods. This record summarizes the TIL count in tumor samples.
Fold Change From Baseline in IFN-gamma Levels in Plasma
The levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) were measured in plasma samples by immunoassay methods. This record summarizes the fold change from baseline in IFN-gamma levels in plasma.
Fold Change From Baseline in IL-6 Levels in Plasma
The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured in plasma samples by immunoassay methods. This record summarizes the fold change from baseline in IL-6 levels in plasma.
Fold Change From Baseline in TNF-alfa Levels in Plasma
The levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alfa) were measured in plasma samples by immunoassay methods. This record summarizes the fold change from baseline in TNF-alfa levels in plasma.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this randomized controlled Phase II study is to assess the efficacy of PDR001 versus investigator's choice of chemotherapy in patients with advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). By blocking the interaction between PD-1 and its ligands PD-L1 and PD-L2, PDR001 leads to the activation of a T-cell mediated antitumor immune response.
Detailed Description
This was an open-label, multi-center, randomized, and controlled Phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of spartalizumab versus investigator's choice of treatment in subjects with moderately differentiated/undifferentiated locally advanced recurrent or metastatic NPC who progressed on or after first-line treatment. Participants who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either investigational arm (spartalizumab) or control arm (commonly used chemotherapy as per investigator's choice). Participants treated with spartalizumab could continue treatment until confirmed progressive disease as per immune-related response criteria (irRC). Participants in the chemotherapy arm were allowed to crossover to spartalizumab if they had radiological progression as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) documented by an independent central review and the Investigator believed this was the best treatment option for the patient.
