What are the intended objectives of this research project?

"This clinical trial, which is planned to be monitored for a month following the last treatment of subjects, has two main objectives. The primary goal is to document the number of participants who experience Adverse Events categorized as Grade 3 or higher according to CTCAE5.0 standards. Secondary goals include evaluating the pharmacokinetics of DSF/Cu in combination with liposomal doxorubicin through clearance and average steady state concentrations measurements on samples collected from participants; determining median overall survival (OS) and Event free survival times based on RECIST v1.1 criteria; and measuring at least 20% relative increase in target lesions" - Anonymous Online Contributor

Unverified Answer

Is there any danger associated with taking Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil)?

"Liposomal Doxorubicin (Doxil)'s safety is not fully established yet, so we assume a score of 1 on this scale. This indicates that it's currently in its first phase of clinical trials and there is limited evidence regarding effectiveness and safety." - Anonymous Online Contributor
