Cycle lengths differ for each regimen: nal‐IRI+5‐FU/LV, 2 wk; nal‐IRI monotherapy, 3 wk; 5‐FU/LV, 6 wk.

Abbreviations: 5‐FU, 5‐fluorouracil; LV, leucovorin (folinic acid); nal‐IRI, liposomal irinotecan; n/a, not applicable; SD, standard deviation.

a

Relative dose intensity is a function of both amount of study drug received and the time frame over which it was received expressed as a percentage of that planned study drug in the protocol‐defined schedule.

b

One patient randomized to the 5‐FU/LV arm of the overall population erroneously received 6 wk of nal‐IRI+5‐FU/LV.

c

Duration of exposure is the time from (the date of the last dose of study administration + projected days to next dose of study drug administration – date first study drug administration)/7.
