Phase 1b: Number of Patients With DLT Primary · 12 Months

Phase 1b: For dose limiting toxicity (DLT) evaluation, severity (grade) was classified according to common terminology criteria for adverse events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).

GroupValue95% CI
P1b: 8 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID0
P1b: 10 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID0
P1b: 10 mg/kg Wkly/15 mg/kg q2wks TRC105 + 5 mg Axitinib BID0
Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS) of Patients With RCC Primary · 15 Months

Median progression free survival (PFS) of patients with advanced or metastatic RCC by RECIST 1.1. Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

GroupValue95% CI
P2 Arm A: 5 mg Axitinib BID11.45.8 – NA
P2 Arm B: 10 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID6.75.6 – 13.1
Phase 1b & 2: Response Rate of Patients With RCC Secondary · 15 Months

Number of patients with partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Phase 2: Overall Response Rate of Patients With RCC by Choi Secondary · 15 Months

Overall response (OR) rate is the number of patients with partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) by Choi Criteria. Per Choi criteria for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), A decrease in size ≥ 10% or a decrease in tumor attenuation (Houndsfield units) ≥ 15% on CT and no new lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

Phase 1b & 2: Trough Concentrations of TRC105 by Dose Level in Phase 1b Secondary · 2.5 months (cycle 2 day 15)

Trough Serum TRC105 concentrations at steady state (cycle 2 day 15) were measured using validated ELISA methods.

GroupValue95% CI
P1b: 8 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID27650± 39103

Phase 1b & 2: Number of Patients With Development of Immunogenicity Antibodies. Secondary · 12 months

Anti-product antibody concentration were measured using validated ELISA methods.

GroupValue95% CI
P1b: 8 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID1
P1b: 10 mg/kg TRC105 Wkly + 5 mg Axitinib BID0
