What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) rate will be measured at End-of-Cycle 1

    Time frame: Day 21

Secondary outcomes

  1. Relative dose intensity (RDI) of carboplatin and paclitaxel will be evaluated upon completion of the dose escalation within each regimen

    Time frame: within 6 cycles (Day 126)

  2. PK parameters derived from the PK profile of treatment drugs when administered alone or in combination will be evaluated during the first 6 cycles

    Time frame: During the first 6 cycles

  3. Overall tumor response

    Time frame: Every 6-8 weeks
