Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Determination of the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) Based on the Occurrence of Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) in Cycle 1 [4 weeks]

    The primary objective of the dose-escalation part of this study was to determine the MTD of volasertib in combination with decitabine. The MTD was to be identified based on the DLT information collected during the first treatment cycle of each dosing schedule. DLT was defined as a non-haematological drug-related toxicity of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥3. The MTD corresponded to the highest dose of volasertib and decitabine at which the incidence of DLT was ≤17% (i.e. 1/6 patients) during Cycle 1.

  2. Number of Subjects With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Cycle 1 [4 weeks]

    Number of subjects with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) in Cycle 1 is presented

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
TS. One patient treated with volasertib 350 mg + decitabine had to be excluded because they did not receive all planned doses of volasertib and could therefore not be included in the calculation of MTD. Thus overall 12 patients were analysed instead of 13 patients.
