Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Doseevery cycle
Phase 2: Overall Response Ratebaseline to measured progressive diseaseOverall Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of participants having either a Complete or Partial response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 2: Time to Progressive Diseasebaseline to measured progressive diseaseDefined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression. Time to disease progression was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause.
Phase 1: Best Overall Responsebaseline to measured responseResponse using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria.
Phase 2: Overall Survivalbaseline to date of death from any causeOverall survival was the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who were alive, overall survival was censored at the last contact.
Phase 2: Duration of Responsetime of response to progressive diseaseThe duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.
Phase 2: Complete Response Ratebaseline to measured response timeComplete Response Rate was defined as the proportion of participants having a Complete Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions.

Outcome results

Primary

Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose

Time frame: every cycle

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial and it was too early to assess the recommended dose for Phase 2, or to estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Primary

Phase 2: Overall Response Rate

Overall Response Rate (ORR) was defined as the proportion of participants having either a Complete or Partial response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions.

Time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial. No patients were entered into the Phase 2 portion.

Secondary

Phase 1: Best Overall Response

Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response=30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Progressive Disease=20% increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease=small changes that do not meet above criteria.

Time frame: baseline to measured response

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial and was stopped too early to assess best overall response.

Secondary

Phase 2: Complete Response Rate

Complete Response Rate was defined as the proportion of participants having a Complete Response using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria. Complete Response=disappearance of all target lesions.

Time frame: baseline to measured response time

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial. No patients were entered into the Phase 2 portion.

Secondary

Phase 2: Duration of Response

The duration of a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was defined as the time from first objective status assessment of CR or PR to the first time of progression or death as a result of any cause.

Time frame: time of response to progressive disease

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial. No patients were entered into the Phase 2 portion.

Secondary

Phase 2: Overall Survival

Overall survival was the duration from enrollment to death. For patients who were alive, overall survival was censored at the last contact.

Time frame: baseline to date of death from any cause

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial. No patients were entered into the Phase 2 portion.

Secondary

Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease

Defined as the time from study enrollment to the first date of disease progression. Time to disease progression was censored at the date of death if death was due to other cause.

Time frame: baseline to measured progressive disease

Population: This trial was terminated during the Phase 1 portion of this Phase 1/2 trial. No patients were entered into the Phase 2 portion.
