*

Study specified assessments made prior to the start of cycle 2,3,5, and 7. Patients were taken off study for progression of disease

based on non-study scheduled clinical, cytologic, or radiologic assessments made during clinical follow up.

**

if the CSF cytology was atypical or suspicious, a repeat CSF study was conducted for a confirmatory testing.

***

PT10 had concurrent brain and spinal cord metastases.
