Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Phase I: Optimal doses and toleration of the three drugs administered together.
Phase II: The primary efficacy endpoint is objective tumour response rate as measured by radiological imaging, photography, and/or physical examination performed every other cycle and recorded according to RECIST criteria.
Secondary outcome measures
PK endpoints: Cmin and Cmax; Concentrations of alpha-1 acid glycoprotein and albumin.
Phase I and II Tumor response rate; Time to tumor response; Length of response; Time to progression of cancer; Overall survival.
Relevant biomarkers, including ErbB1, ErbB2, ErbB3, ErbB4, AKT, and potentially other biomarkers downstream from the ErbB1 and ErbB2 receptors, will be determined from tumour tissue.
