Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated Dose | every cycle | — |
| Phase 2: Overall Response Rate | baseline to measured progressive disease | 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. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2: Time to Progressive Disease | baseline to measured 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. |
| Phase 1: Best Overall Response | baseline to measured 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. |
| Phase 2: Overall Survival | baseline to date of death from any cause | Overall 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 Response | time of response to progressive disease | 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. |
| Phase 2: Complete Response Rate | baseline to measured response time | 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. |

Outcome results
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).
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
