- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Level of Biomarkers Baseline, 24, 32, and 48 hours post dose Phospho-CDC2 (pCDC2) response in the skin following the administration of cytotoxic agents. pCDC2 levels were measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Ratio of pCDC2 Response in Skin Following Administration of Cytotoxic Therapy 24, 32, and 48 hours post dose Ratio of Phospho-CDC2 (pCDC2) response at 24, 32, and 48 hours compared to baseline, 24, and 32 hours post chemotherapy.
