A Phase 2, Open-Label Study of BGB-A317 in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Mature T- and NK- Neoplasms

This is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, open-label, Phase 2 clinical study to
evaluate the safety and efficacy of BGB-A317 in patients with relapsed or refractory mature
T- and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms. There will be two cohorts of patients:

- Cohort 1: Patients with relapsed or refractory extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma (nasal or
non-nasal type)

- Cohort 2: Patients with other mature T-cell neoplasms, limited to the following
histologies; peripheral T-cell lymphoma- not otherwise specified (NOS),
angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, and anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

Approximately 70 patients will be enrolled into Cohort 1 and 40 patients into Cohort 2 for a
total sample size of 110 patients. Cohort 2 will include 20 patients with EBV-positive
disease and 20 patients with EBV-negative disease. The primary efficacy endpoint is ORR
determined by independent central review. Disease response for the primary endpoint will be
assessed per the Lugano criteria with the LYRIC modification for immunomodulatory therapy
BGB-A317 will be administered intravenously as a 200 mg infusion every 3 weeks (Each cycle
consists of 21 days). Study procedures will occur over a Screening phase (up to 35 days);
Treatment phase (until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or withdrawal of informed
consent, whichever occurs first); Safety Follow-up phase (up to 90 days following last study
treatment for all AEs and SAEs); Survival follow-up phase (duration varying by patient).


Inclusion Criteria

To be eligible to participate in this study, a patient must meet all of the following
criteria:

1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory, mature T-cell and
NK-cell neoplasms based on the WHO 2016 classification of tumors of hematopoietic and
lymphoid tissue. Patients will be allocated to one of two cohorts based on their
histologic diagnosis:

• Cohort 1: Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal or non-nasal type)

Patients with aggressive NK leukemia are excluded

• Cohort 2: Other mature T-cell neoplasms, limited to the following histologies:

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma - NOS

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma

2. Male or female ≥ 18 years of age at the time of informed consent (or acceptable age
according to local regulations, whichever is older)

3. Previously received 1 or more appropriate systemic therapies (eg, non-anthracycline
based regimens such as L asparaginase-based therapy) for cohort 1 and combination
chemotherapy (eg, CHOP, EPOCH, or similar therapy) for cohort 2. Radiation therapy
alone would not be acceptable previous therapy.

• For patients with relapsed or refractory anaplastic large cell lymphoma, regardless
of ALK status, must have received prior therapy with brentuximab vedotin (applicable
only to countries where brentuximab vedotin received marketing approval)

4. Disease progression during or after completion of most recent therapy or refractory
disease. Refractory disease is defined as failure to achieve CR or PR to most recent
therapy, and most recent therapy was an appropriate systemic therapy for mature T-cell
or NK-cell lymphoma

5. Measurable lesions defined as ≥ 1 lesion that is > 1.5 cm for nodal lesions and > 1 cm
for extranodal lesions

6. Availability of either unstained tissue (block or unstained slides) or stained slides,
and pathology report for central confirmation of mature T-cell or NK-cell lymphoma. If
stained slides or unstained tissue (block or unstained slides) are not available, a
fresh tumor tissue sample is mandatory for central pathology. Central pathology
confirmation is not required prior to enrollment.

7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2

8. Has life expectancy ≥ 6 months

9. Patients must have forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1)/forced vital capacity
(FVC) > 60% by pulmonary function test (PFT), carbon monoxide diffusion capacity
(DLCO), FEV1 and FVC all > 50% predicted value; all PFTs must be obtained within 4
weeks prior to the first dose of tislelizumab

10. Adequate organ function defined as:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1000/mm3 (without growth factor support within
7 days of ANC measurement)

- Platelet > 50,000/mm3 (without growth factor support or transfusion within 7 days
of platelets measurement)

- Hemoglobin > 80 g/L (prior transfusion is acceptable)

- Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min (as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault equation or
as measured by nuclear medicine scan or 24-hour urine collection)

- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and
alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase ≤ 3.0 × upper
limit of normal (ULN)

- Serum total bilirubin < 2.0 × ULN (unless documented Gilbert's syndrome)

11. Female patients of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effective
method of birth control/contraception for the duration of the study, and for at least
120 days after the last dose of tislelizumab, and have a negative serum pregnancy test
within 7 days of the first dose of study drug.

12. Non-sterile males must be willing to use a highly effective method of birth
control/contraception for the duration of the study and for at least 120 days after
the last dose of tislelizumab

- Sterile males are those for whom azoospermia, in a semen sample examination, has
been demonstrated as definitive evidence of infertility

- Males with "low sperm counts" (consistent with "sub-fertility") are not to be
considered sterile for purposes of this study

13. Ability to provide written informed consent and can understand and comply with the
requirements of the study
