ADVERSE EVENTS, HYPERGLYCAEMIA
A total of 103 patients were randomised and 101 were treated (n = 50 in the xentuzumab arm and n = 51 in the placebo arm). The trial was unblinded early due to high rates of discordance between independent and investigator assessment of PFS. Per independent assessment, median PFS was 12.7 (95% CI 6.8–29.3) months with xentuzumab and 11.0 (7.7–19.5) months with placebo (hazard ratio 1.19; 95% CI 0.55–2.59; p = 0.6534). Per investigator assessment, median PFS was 7.4 (6.8–9.7) months with xentuzumab and 9.2 (5.6–14.4) months with placebo (hazard ratio 1.23; 95% CI 0.69–2.20; p = 0.4800). Tolerability was similar between the arms, with diarrhoea (33.3–56.0%), fatigue (33.3–44.0%) and headache (21.6–40.0%) being the most common treatment-emergent adverse events. The incidence of grade ≥ 3 hyperglycaemia was similar between the xentuzumab (2.0%) and placebo (5.9%) arms.
