Abbreviations: ALT, alanine aminotransferase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; CRM, continual reassessment method; D, day; DLT, dose-limiting toxicity; G, grade; MTD, maximum tolerated dose; NA, not applicable

aDLT was not considered related to study drug but was used in the CRM algorithm to de-escalate the next dose to 15 mg/m2
