This subject was the only patient dose-escalated; after receiving five cycles (cycle 1-5) at 20 mg and three cycles (cycles 6-8) at 40 mg, the patient was returned to 20 mg (cycles 9-15) due to grade 3 syncope during cycle 8. No further syncopal events occurred after the subject's antihypertensive medication was discontinued
