Patients with greater than or equal to 2+ proteinuria on baseline dipstick analysis should undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤1 g of protein in the 24-hour urine. Alternatively, proteinuria testing can be performed according to local standards. . Pre-existing peripheral neuropathy ≥CTC grade 2. . Pregnant or lactating females. Serum pregnancy test to be assessed within 7 days prior to study treatment start, or within 14 days (with a confirmatory urine pregnancy test within 7 days prior to study treatment start). . Women of childbearing potential not using highly-effective, non-hormonal means of contraception (intrauterine contraceptive device or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly) during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study medication. . LVEF defined by MUGA/ECHO below the institutional lower limit of normal (only applicable for patients intended to be treated with PLD). . Serious active infection requiring i.v. antibiotics and/or hospitalisation at study entry. . Known hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or excipients. . Evidence of any other medical conditions, physical examination or laboratory findings that may interfere with the planned treatment, affect patient compliance or place the patient at high risk from treatment-related complications.

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
End of study is defined as the date of the last visit of the last patient. The primary analysis will be performed once at least 228 events of disease progression or death have been observed, or at the end of study, which ever occurs first. Patients are anticipated to be followed for a minimum of 4 months for PFS. Follow-up for survival will continue until the last patient has completed 12 months of follow-up and the trial will end at this point. |
