Abbreviations: BP=blood pressure; pShift=phosphoshift assay.

a

pShift changes from day 7 vs day 0 of the run-in period; results are expressed in percentage of increase or decrease of the baseline pShift value.

b

Average blood pressure on day 7 of run-in phase minus average blood pressure on day 0 of run-in phase (in mm Hg, calculated as follows: average blood pressure=(systolic blood pressure+2 × diastolic blood pressure)/3).

c

Cycle 1 day 1 dose, all cases b.i.d. During the run-in period, doses were modified due to the following reasons: 1: G3 vomiting; G2 rash (intolerable); 2: G3 HFS; 3: G2 HFS (intolerable); 4: G2 diarrhoea (intolerable); 5: G3 AST and ALT elevation; 6: G3 HFS; 7: G2 mucositis and fatigue (intolerable); 8: G3 AST and ALT elevation.

d

In two daily takes except in * (one daily take).

e

Proteinuria was 3.0 g per 24 h, but was sustained over several cycles and dose was reduced by investigator's decision.
