Treatment Related Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Deaths, and AEs Leading to DiscontinuationFrom time of screening through post study follow-up at a maximum of 21 9-day cycles. Toxicity assessments occured at least every 4 weeks until all study drug related toxicities.Adverse events (AEs) and Serious AEs (SAEs) considered possibly, probably, or certainly related to study treatment, graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 (Grade 1=Mild, Grade 2=Moderate, Grade 3=Severe, Grade 4=Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5=Death).
Hematology Results - Worst On-Study GradeBaseline (within 2 weeks of dosing), weekly, and within 72 hours prior to each subsequent 21-day cycle. If CTC Grade 4 hematologic toxicity is observed, complete blood count plus differential and platelets repeated every 3 days until resolution.Worst on-study grade based on laboratory values graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0.

(The Maximum Tolerated Dose was established as 40 mg/m2, based on an investiagtion of Dose Limiting Toxicities, which consisted of Febrile Neutropenia (at 40 mg/m2) in 1 participant and Grade 4 neutropenia lasting ≥5 days (at 45 mg/m2)in 2 participants.)
