Mean Area Under the Curve Over 24 Hours (AUC24) Primary · Cycle 1, week 1 at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post treatment

Mean of area under the curve over 24 hours (AUC24) reported as well as linear regression of AUC24 by age and chemotherapy toxicity risk score. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables and the value assigned to them. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (\>=72 years); creatinine clearance (\<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (\<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; can

Mean Clearance (CL) Primary · Cycle 1, week 1 at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 6, 8, 24 hours post treatment

Mean CL reported as well as regression results of CL by age and chemotherapy toxicity risk score. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables and the value assigned to them. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (\>=72 years); creatinine clearance (\<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (\<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; cancer type

Grade 3 Toxicity Rate by Chemotherapy Toxicity Risk Score Secondary · Up to 2.5 years

Comparison of presence of grade 3 toxicity rate by risk score distribution. Chemotherapy toxicity risk score is based on the following variables. Higher scores indicate more risk, range of 2-19: patient age (\>=72 years); creatinine clearance (\<34 mL/min); presence of amenia (\<10 g/dL); hearing impairment; falls in the last 6 months; need for assistance with taking medications; limitations in walking one block; decreased social activities; chemotherapy dosing; number of chemotherapy drugs; cancer type Chemotherapy toxicity risk score category: Low risk score - toxicity risk score: 0-5 Me

Best Response Secondary · Assessed after every 2 cycles of therapy until progression, up to 2.5 years

Complete Response (CR): Disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD. Progressive Disease (PD): At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum LD since the treatment starte

Median Event-free Survival (EFS) in Months Secondary · From the date treatment begins until the first date on which recurrence, progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 3.5 years

Median and associated 95% exact Clopper and Pearson binomial confidence limits will be estimated for EFS. EFS will be estimated using the product limit method of Kaplan and Meier. EFS is defined by time to disease recurrence, disease progression or death to due to any cause
