Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
First Patient In = 29-Aug-05. Last Patient Last Visit = 03-Dec-07. Multicenter (4 Outpatient Clinics) in US.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment

Post-group assignment information: For all cohorts doses were administered in repeated 21-day cycles.

Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), by using dose-escalating design and measured by Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) is a standard procedure in the development of chemotherapeutic combinations.
