Amendments

RATIONALE FOR PROTOCOL AMENDMENT #


Summarize the overall rationale (one primary driver) for the changes implemented in a
protocol amendment above the summary table; the table will include a brief description of the
changes and impacted sections. Include only changes made from the original protocol or from
the previous amendment (including, if necessary, protocol clarification letter content) and not
a cumulative summary. Sample text is provided below:

The primary changes in Amendment # include the following:

 Increased the total enrollment to # patients.


 Required female patients of childbearing potential to use highly effective
contraception for the duration of the study and up to 120 days after discontinuation of
study treatment.
 Divided enrollment was into two cohorts in Dose Expansion, specifically North
American and Asian cohorts, each enrolling an equal amount of 30 patients each.

The table below summarizes the substantive modifications to the body of the protocol.
Corresponding changes were made to the synopsis. Unless changes to the synopsis were unique
to the synopsis, they are not included in the summary. Minor editorial, formatting, and
typographical changes were also made.

14 STATISTICAL ANALYSIS
Describe the methods of analysis for the following parameters. Do not describe specific CSR
tables and listings in the protocol. Rather, refer the reader to the Statistical Analysis Plan or
Statistical Programming Plan.

This section outlines the statistical methodology and principles used for data analysis in this
study. A separate statistical analysis plan (SAP) and statistical programming plan (SPP) further
describe the details regarding statistical methods and govern the analysis.

14.1 Determination of Sample Size


Sample text for phase 1 study:

The study plans to enroll approximately up to xx patients (up to xx in the dose escalation phase
and up to xx in the dose expansion phase).

The sample size of up to xx patients for the dose escalation phase is based on 3+3 design with
planned xx dose cohorts. Additional patients may be enrolled if the enrollment to a dose cohort is
expanded or intermediate dose levels are evaluated in the dose escalation phase.

The dose expansion phase plans to enroll approximately xx patients, consisting of xx patients in
each of xx tumor specific cohorts. The sample size for each tumor specific cohort is primarily
based on providing preliminary estimation of responses. Table 3 provides the 2-sided 95%
confidence interval (CI) for a number of potential responses among xx patients.

14.2 Analysis Populations


The study analyses will be performed on the following populations (choose ones that apply):

14.3 Demographics and Baseline Characteristics


Patient disposition, demographics, baseline characteristics, disease history, medical history, and
prior cancer treatment will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

14.4 Study Treatment Exposures and Concomitant Medications


Study treatment exposures and concomitant medications will be summarized by descriptive
statistics. The summary of study treatment exposure will include descriptive statistics as well as
frequency counts for the number of doses or cycles received, the total dose actually
administrated as well as the total dose intended, and the dose intensity which is calculated as
percentage of total dose actually administrated divided by total dose intended during whole
treatment period. Concomitant medications are coded using the WHO Drug Dictionary.

14.5 Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic Analysis

14.5.1 Pharmacokinetic Analysis


Summary statistics will be tabulated for PK parameters by dose.

14.5.2 Immunogenicity Analysis


The proportion of patients who are negative for study treatment-specific ADA at baseline and
become positive in this assay, the proportion of patients who are negative at baseline and remain
negative, and those who have positive ADA at baseline that increases or decreases in titer over
the course of treatment will be summarized.

14.5.3 Pharmacodynamic Analysis


Summary statistics for pharmacodynamic parameters listed in Section 10.2 and changes from
baseline will be summarized. Analyses may be presented graphically with possible associations
between changes in pharmacodynamic measures of interest and study treatment dose and
exposure.

14.6 Efficacy and Endpoint Analyses

14.6.1 Response Endpoints and Analyses


The objective response rate (ORR)….

14.6.2 Analysis of Tumor Size Change Over Time


Tumor size is defined as the sum of diameters of the target lesions. Tumor size change from
baseline over time will be summarized and may be presented by spider plot. The best tumor size
change from baseline will be presented by waterfall plot.

14.6.3 Time-to-Event Endpoints and Analyses


Consider other endpoints than survival-based endpoints. Landmark analysis, and composite
endpoints to enable rapid endpoint accrual and study completion.

Progression-free survival (PFS) will be defined ….
