E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Evaluation of Response Rate in Selected Solid Tumor Cohorts. The Primary Objective of this study is to determine the objective response rate (ORR) [complete response (CR) plus partial response (PR)] of any duration, plus the rate of patients with stable disease (SD) of at least 4 months duration at a dose of 80 mg/m2 administered over 1 hour on Day 1 and 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The Secondary Objectives of this study are:
1) To evaluate safety and tolerability of 80 mg/m2 of Tinostamustine administered over 1 hour on Day 1 and 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle.
2) To determine the progression-free survival (PFS) time for patients who received 80 mg/m2 of Tinostamustine administered over 1 hour on Day 1 and 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle.
3) To determine the overall survival (OS) for patients who received 80 mg/m2 of Tinostamustine administered over 1 hour on Day 1 and 15 of each 4-week treatment cycle.
4) To determine duration of response.
5) To establish the whole PK profiles of Tinostamustine.
The Exploratory Objective is to correlate the extent of gene expression changes in tumor samples with anti-tumor activity. |
