Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)Primary· Cycle 1 of the treatment period (28 days)
DLTs were graded according to NCI- CTCAE version 4.03 and coded using the latest version of Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred term (PT) as event category and MedDRA primary system organ class (SOC) body term as Body System category.

Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Secondary· Approximately 8 months (246 days).
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of the first documentation of PD or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first. PFS data were censored on the date of the last adequate tumor assessment for participants who did not have an event (PD or death), for participants who started new anti-cancer therapy prior to an event, or for participants with an event after two or more missing tumor assessments. Participants who did not have an adequate baseline tumor assessment or who did not have any adequate post-baseline tu

Overall Survival (OS)Secondary· Approximately 8 months (246 days).
Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from the date of first dose of study treatment to the date of death due to any cause. Participants last known to be alive were censored at date of last contact.
OS time was summarized using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Pharmacokinetic (PK) Parameters - Cmax and Ctrough for Avelumab and NKTR-214Secondary· Blood samples were collected on Day 1 and Day 15 in Cycle 1 and Cycle 2 for avelumab. Blood samples were collected on Day 1, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 8 in Cycle 1, Day1 and Day 8 in Cycle 2 for NKTR-214.
Cmax was defined as the maximum observed plasma concentration at the end of infusion. Ctrough was defined as the predose concentration at the end of dosing interval.

Number of Participants With Positive Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) ResultsSecondary· Day 1 of Cycle 1, 2 and end of treatment (EOT).
ADA against avelumab and NKTR-214 in serum samples was determined and reported separately for ADA never-positive, ADA ever-positive participants, baseline ADA positive, treatment-boosted ADA, treatment-induced ADA, transient ADA response, persistent ADA response. For all participants, blood for ADA samples was drawn from the contralateral arm of the avelumab and NKTR-214 infusion.

PD-L1 Expression Level in Baseline and On-treatment Tumor TissueSecondary· On-treatment biopsy is required to be collected on Cycle 1 between Days 9 and 14 for participants in Combination A.
PD-L1 expression level in baseline tumor tissue, and in on-treatment tumor tissue was defined as the number of PD-L1 positive cells and/or qualitative assessment of PD-L1 staining on tumor and/or inflammatory cells in regions of interest. PD-L1 expression level in baseline tumor tissue and in on-treatment tumor tissue were under pathological analyses, assisted by image analysis. Participants were classified as positive or negative according to scoring algorithms and cut-offs established from internal or external sources.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events(TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Death and Infusion-Related Reactions (IRRs) During On-treatment PeriodSecondary· Approximately 6 months (190 days)
Adverse events (AEs) were any untoward medical occurrences in a participant or clinical study participants, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were those events with onset dates occurring during the on-treatment period. On-treatment period was defined as the time from the first dose of study treatment through minimum (30 days + last dose of study treatment). A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: a. Results in dea

Liver Function Tests of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and total bilirubin (TBILI) were used to assess possible drug induced liver toxicity. The number of participants with at least one of the following laboratory results were summarized below: 1. (ALT ≥3 × ULN or AST ≥3 × ULN) post-baseline. 2. TBILI ≥2 × ULN post-baseline. 3. (ALP ≤2 × ULN or missing) post-baseline.

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov
Time frame: Approximately 8 months (246 days) . For all causality death cases, all death cases were reported regardless if the cases happened during on-treatment period or not. In total, 2 death cases were reported. Only 1 of the 2 death cases was caused by an adverse event , the other participant died due to disease progression. Thus only 1 serious adverse event was reported. All other reported adverse events are treatment-emergent adverse events..
Reporting threshold: 0%.
Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
Avelumab + Bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) (Combination A)
Evaluation of the combination of avelumab + bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214 ) in locally advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck ( metastatic SCCHN) and avelumab + bempegaldesleukin (NKTR-214) + talazoparib or enzalutamide in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
