Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) | 2 years | MTD was determined as the dose where more than 2 out of 6 subjects experienced DLT |
| The recommended dose for the phase II study | 2 years | Determined as the recommended dose for a phase 2 study based on the adverse events and toxicities at each dose groups |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The dose limiting toxicity (DLT) | 2 years | Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as one of the following cases. NCI CTCAE V3.0 Grade 3 or more hypersensitivity despite premedication, Non-Hematological Toxicity other than nausea and vomiting, Hematological toxicity. |
| Toxicities | 2 years | Clinical/laboratory toxicities were monitored after the treatment, in order to evaluate safety and tolerance of the test drugs, and adverse events, which were maintained until visit on discontinuation date, were followed until recovered or stabilized |
