Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 1: Maximum Tolerated DoseCycle 1 (21 days)Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was defined as the dose immediately below the dose at which ≥2/3, ≥2/6, or ≥3/9 participants in a cohort experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first 21 days of treatment (Cycle 1) in Phase 1.
Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) [Objective Response Rate (ORR)]Baseline to Objective Disease Progression (Up to 11 months)Objective response rate (ORR) was defined as a percentage of responders who achieved complete response or partial response (CR+PR) as assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v 1.1). Complete response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all target (and non-target) lesions, and no appearance of new lesion. Partial response (PR) was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameters (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of LD, no progression of non-target lesions, and no appearance of new lesions.
