Number of Dose Limiting Toxicities Primary · Day 28

Subjects are evaluable for DLTs (defined in section 5.2.1.2) if they have received at least one dose of Avelumab, have completed HFRT per protocol and have completed safety assessments over the entire DLT evaluation period (days 1 through 28).

GroupValue95% CI

Median Progression-free Survival (PFS6) Primary · Month 6

PFS, defined as the time between treatment initiation and first occurrence of disease progression or death, will be censored at last follow-up if the patient remained alive without disease progression

GroupValue95% CI
Avelumab and Hypofractionated Radiation Therapy(HFRT)4.21.4 – 5.7
Median Overall Survival (OS) Secondary · Month 12

OS will be determined from the time of treatment initiation until the time of death, with OS being censored at last follow-up if the patient remained alive
