What are the key goals of this clinical investigation?

"The prime aim of this trial, which will be evaluated within a period of four weeks from the first dose administration, is to assess Adverse Events Frequency. Additionally, Lurbinectedin Pharmacokinetics shall be measured through Area under the concentration-time curve (AUC). Secondary outcomes consist of Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Duration of Response (DoR), both assessed 6 months after commencement and determined by earliest date of death or disease progression respectively."
