Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Characterize safety, tolerability + pharmacokinetics, to determine the maximum tolerated dose of BAY80-6946 administered 1x weekly for 3 weeks, every 4weeks, as a 1h-intravenous infusion. Evaluate biomarkers that may be predictive of tumor response. | 2 years |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Determine the effects of BAY80-6946 on blood glucose and insulin, and its safety in patients with type I or II diabetes. | 2 years |
| Evaluate for early signs of efficacy in expansion cohorts | 2 years |
