Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of E7389 liposomal formulation (E7389-LF)Cycle 1 (21 days): Schedule 1; Cycle 1 (28 days): Schedule 2

The MTD is defined as the maximum dose with 0 or 1 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in 6 participants. DLTs are defined as study drug-related adverse events (AEs) and graded using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) 4.03 occurring during Cycle 1 (Schedule 1: 3 weeks; Schedule 2: 4 weeks) of the Dose Escalation part of the study (DE-part).

Number of participants with any adverse event (AE)From date of first dose of study drug up to 30 days after last administration of study drug (approximately up to 8 years)

The number of participants with any AE will be assessed as a measure of the safety and tolerability of E7389-LF.

Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of E7389-LFDE part: predose; 15 minutes (min) after start of infusion (inf); 5 min after end of inf on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1); 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours (hr) postdose (from end of inf on C1D1); C1D4; C1D8; C1D10. Exp part: predose and end of inf on C1D1; C1D8

Blood samples will be collected for pharmacokinetic (PK) analyses. Cmax is the highest concentration of drug in the blood that is measured after a dose. DE = Dose Escalation. Exp = Expansion.

Time from dosing to the maximum observed concentration (Tmax) of E7389-LFDE part: predose; 15 minutes (min) after start of infusion (inf); 5 min after end of inf on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1); 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours (hr) postdose (from end of inf on C1D1); C1D4; C1D8; C1D10. Exp part: predose and end of inf on C1D1; C1D8

Blood samples will be collected for PK analyses. Tmax is the time to the highest concentration of drug in the blood that is measured after a dose. DE = Dose Escalation. Exp = Expansion.

Area under the plasma concentration time course profile (AUC)DE part: predose; 15 minutes (min) after infusion (inf) start; 5 min after end of inf on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1); 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours (hr) postdose (from end of inf on C1D1); C1D4; C1D8; and C1D10. Exp part: predose and end of inf on C1D1; C1D8

Blood samples will be collected for PK analyses. AUC represents the overall amount of drug in the bloodstream after dosing. DE = Dose Escalation. Exp = Expansion.

Half-life (t1/2) of E7389-LFDE part: predose; 15 minutes (min) after start of infusion (inf); 5 min after end of inf on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1); 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours (hr) postdose (from end of inf on C1D1); C1D4; C1D8; C1D10. Exp part: predose and end of inf on C1D1; C1D8

Blood samples will be collected for PK analyses. t1/2 is the time required for the concentration of the drug to reach half of its original value. DE = Dose Escalation. Exp = Expansion.

Clearance (CL) of E7389-LFDE part: predose; 15 minutes (min) after infusion (inf) start; 5 min after end of inf on Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1); 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 24 hours (hr) postdose (from end of inf on C1D1); C1D4; C1D8; and C1D10. Exp part: predose and end of inf on C1D1; C1D8

Blood samples will be collected for PK analyses. Vd is the volume in which a drug is distributed. DE = Dose Escalation. Exp = Expansion.

Objective response rate (ORR)From date of first dose of study drug until first documentation of CR or PR (up to approximately 8 years)

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants who have a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1. For target lesions, CR is defined as the disappearance of all target lesions. For non-target lesions, CR is defined as the disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. All lymph nodes must be non-pathological in size (less than \[\<\] 10 millimeter \[mm\] short axis). Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have a reduction in the short axis to \<10 mm. For target lesions, PR is defined as at least a 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Progression free survival (PFS)From the date of first dose of study drug until progressive disease (PD), death, whichever occurs first (up to approximately 8 years)

PFS is defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or date of death, whichever occurs first. For target lesions PD is defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). In addition to the relative increase of 20%, the sum must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm. For non-target lesions, progressive disease is defined as the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progression.
