Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)21 Days (first cycle)

Dose Limiting Toxicity = Drug-related side effects that are serious enough to prevent an increase in dose or level of that treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity)) at Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg)Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg)

Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to extrapolated infinite time (o- ∞). It is obtained from AUC (0 - t) plus AUC (t - ∞). At 600 mg, t=12 hours and at 400 mg, t=24 hours.

Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity)) at Day 3 (600 mg)Day 3 (600 mg)

Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hours. It is obtained from AUC (0 - 12) plus AUC (12 - ∞)

Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg)Day 1 (600 mg and 400 mg)
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 3 (600 mg)Day 3 (600 mg)
Maximum Concentration (Cmax) at Day 21 (400 mg)Day 21 (400 mg)
Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-infinity) at Day 21 (400 mg)Day 21 (400 mg)

Area Under Curve (AUC(0-infinity))=Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) from time zero to 24 hours. It is obtained from AUC (0 - 24) plus AUC (24 - ∞)
