Type of Study:

Interventional

Study Design:

Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Outcome Measure:

Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

Outcome Description:

Maximum tolerated dose was the dose that was 1 step lower than the dose where at least one third of patients experienced DLT. A DLT was defined as any of the following occurring during the first cycle: grade 4 hematologic toxicity without regard for relationship to study drug treatment thrombocytopenia grade 3 with grade 3 or grade 4 hemorrhage grade 3 febrile neutropenia grade 3 or grade 4 nausea and vomiting refractory to anti emetic therapy any study drug related grade 3 or grade 4 nonhematologic toxicity any drug related death Toxicity grades (3=severe AE and 4=life-threatening or disabling AE) were assessed using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) v3.

Outcome Time Frame:

Day 1 - 28
