DLTs were defined as grade 3 or higher hematological or nonhematological toxicities that, in the opinion of the investigator, were related to ganitumab or the combination of ganitumab and paclitaxel or carboplatin during this period. These did not include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, hyperglycemia, neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, anemia, lymphopenia, alopecia, increased ALT or AST, or pulmonary embolism unless they met certain criteria.

Dose-limiting-toxicity-evaluable subjects were defined as those who had received 1 dose of ganitumab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin and had completed 1 cycle (21 days) of study treatment or experienced a DLT related to ganitumab or the combination of ganitumab and paclitaxel/carboplatin during the first cycle (21 days) of study treatment.

Part 2: Objective Response Rate as per modified RECIST criteria by investigator review Objective response was defined as a tumor response assessment of either complete response or partial response per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] and was determined only for subjects with measurable disease at baseline. Per RECIST: a complete response is the disappearance of all target lesions; a partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Adverse events were assessed using CTCAE v 3.0

PFS was defined as the time from study day 1 to the first observation of disease progression per investigator review (as classified by modified RECIST or death due to any cause, or censoring. Disease progression per RECIST is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of any new lesions is also considered progression.

Time to Progression (TTP) is defined as the time from Day 1 to the first observation of disease progression (per modified RECIST). Disease progression per RECIST is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions in reference to the smallest sum on study and an absolute increase of at least 5 mm; the appearance of any new lesions is also considered progression. DOR was the time from the first observation of an objective response to the subsequent time of disease progression (per modified RECIST or clinical progression, whichever came first) or death due to any cause. Objective response = a tumor response assessment of either complete response or partial response per modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST]. Per RECIST: a complete response is the disappearance of all target lesions; a partial response is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
