§

Four patients were treated before and three patients after the study was amended to exclude grade 3 and 4 electrolyte abnormalities that resolved to at least grade 2 within 7 days

One patient was not assessable for toxicity because of early tumor progression

dose-limiting toxicity

These toxicities were not considered dose-limiting toxicities according to the study criteria
