Tislelizumab in People With Colorectal Cancer

All subjects

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age 18 years or older on date of signing informed consent

• ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

• Negative pregnancy test done within 72 hours prior to start of treatment for womenof childbearing potential.

• Women of childbearing potential must be willing to use a highly effectivemethod of birth control for the duration of the study and for ≥ 120 days afterthe last dose of tislelizumab They must also have a negative urine or serumpregnancy test result ≤ 7 days before first dose of study drug.

• The Clinical Trials Facilitation Group recommendations related to contraceptionand pregnancy testing in clinical studies include the use of highly effectiveforms of birth control (Clinical Trials Facilitation Group 2014). These methodsinclude the following:

• Oral, intravaginal, or transdermal combined (estrogen- andprogestogen-containing) hormonal contraception associated with theinhibition of ovulation

• Oral, injectable, implantable progestogen-only hormonal contraceptionassociated with the inhibition of ovulation Note: Oral birth control pillsare not considered a highly effective form of birth control, and if theyare selected, they must be used with a second, barrier method ofcontraception such as condoms with or without spermicide.

• An intrauterine device

• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system

• Bilateral tubal occlusion

• Vasectomized partner Note: This is only considered a highly effective formof birth control when the vasectomized partner is the sole partner of thestudy participant and there has been a medical assessment confirmingsurgical success.

• A sterile male is one for whom azoospermia, in a semen sample, has beendemonstrated as definitive evidence of infertility.

• Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourseduring the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment)Note: Total sexual abstinence should only be used as a contraceptivemethod if it is in line with the patients' usual and preferred lifestyle.

Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, sympto-thermal, postovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of exposure to study drug, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

Of note, barrier contraception (including male and female condoms with or without spermicide) is not considered a highly effective method of contraception; if used, this method must be used in combination with one of the highly effective forms of birth control listed above.

°"Women of non-childbearing potential" are defined as female patients meeting any of the following criteria:

• Surgically sterile (ie, through bilateral salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, orhysterectomy)

• Postmenopausal, defined as:

• ≥ 55 years of age with no spontaneous menses for ≥ 12 months OR

• < 55 years of age with no spontaneous menses for ≥ 12 months AND withpostmenopausal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration > 30 IU/mL andall alternative medical causes for the lack of spontaneous menses for ≥ 12months have been ruled out, such as polycystic ovarian syndrome,hyperprolactinemia, etc.

• If an FSH measurement is required to confirm postmenopausal state, concomitantuse of hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy should beexcluded.

• Nonsterile males must be willing to use a highly effective method of birth controlfor the duration of the study and for ≥ 120 days after the last dose of tislelizumab

•A sterile male is defined as one for whom azoospermia has been previouslydemonstrated in a semen sample examination as definitive evidence of infertility.

• Males with known "low sperm counts" (consistent with "subfertility") are not tobe considered sterile.
