The number of participants experiencing different types of adverse events (AE). An AE is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study. A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or constitutes an important medical event. All AEs were coded using the MedDRA Version 22.0. Adverse events were analyzed in terms of treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs). A treatment-related TEAE was defined as a TEAE that was suspected by the investigator to be related to study treatment. The severity was graded by the study personnel based on NCI National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.03.

The percent of participants with clinically significant serum chemistry laboratory abnormalities. A clinically significant laboratory abnormality is defined as meeting Grade 3 or Grade 4 criteria according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Grade 3 is defined as severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care. Grade 4 is defined as life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. The chemistry panel includes sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, chloride, phosphorus, CO2, bicarbonate, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, glucose, albumin, total protein, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bilirubin (total and direct), uric acid, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), AST/SGOT, ALT/SGPT, gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), amylase and lipase.

The percent of participants with clinically significant hematology laboratory abnormalities. A clinically significant laboratory abnormality is defined as meeting Grade 3 or Grade 4 criteria according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Grade 3 is defined as severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care. Grade 4 is defined as life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. The hematology panel includes complete blood count (CBC) with differential, including red blood cell (RBC) count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), white blood cell (WBC) count (with differential), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) and platelet count.

The percent of participants with clinically significant vital sign abnormalities including weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate.

The percent of participants with clinically significant ECG abnormalities. 12-lead ECG was assessed by a physician trained in ECG interpretation. Intervals including PR, QRS, QT and RR were collected, as well as heart rate and rhythm.

The change from baseline in the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire. The EORTC QLQ-C30 is composed of 30 items that address general physical symptoms, physical functioning, fatigue and malaise, and social and emotional functioning. Subscale scores are transformed to a 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores on functional scales indicating better function and higher scores on symptom scales indicating worse symptoms. A change of at least 10 points on the standardized domain scores was required for it to be considered meaningful. Results obtained just prior to the start of study treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1 will serve as the baseline values. If not available, the most recent screening results prior to the start of study treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1 will be considered the baseline values.

The European Quality of Life 5D-5L Scale (EQ-5D-5L) assesses general health-related quality of life. Health is defined in 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems. Responses are coded so that a '1' indicates no problem, and '5' indicates the most serious problem. The responses for the 5 dimensions are combined in a 5-digit number. These health states are converted to a single index value using the crosswalk method to the EQ-5D-3L value set from the United Kingdom (UK). The EQ-5D-3L health utility index based on the UK population weights range from -0.594 to 1.0 with higher scores indicating higher health utility. Baseline results are obtained just prior to the start of study treatment on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and will serve as the baseline values.
