结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Local Reactions Including Phlebitis at Infusion Site After Peripheral Intravenous Administration
时间窗: 15 minutes and 4 hours after peripheral intravenous administration, pre- and post-infusion on Day 1 and Day 8
Assessment of the local tolerability of peripheral intravenous administration of melflufen using the Visual Infusion Phlebitis (VIP) scale. The VIP scale provides a score from 0 to 5, noting an ascending order of severity of inflammation. A score of 0 is the lowest possible score, meaning no inflammation detected, and 5 is the highest score, indicating the most severe reaction.
