Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or establish the recommended phase two dose (RPTD)From first study drug dose and at each weekly treatment visit until dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) observed or completion of dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assess the pharmacokinetic profile by area under the curve vs. dose of veliparibMultiple measurements over time points (0, .5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 hours post dose) Day 1, Day 2 and at the pre-dose time point on Day 5 and week 2 visit.
Assess the safety (number of participants with adverse events and types of adverse events observed)From screening and ongoing at each weekly treatment visit through dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks), prior to surgery and at the final visit.
Assess the tolerability (number of participants with adverse events and types of adverse events observed)From first study drug dose and ongoing at each weekly treatment visit, through completion of dosing period (anticipated to be approximately 5 weeks).
