PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: During treatment, up to 5 Days

If 2 participants within a cohort develop dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), the prior dose level is considered the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLT) will be defined as any new (or increased from baseline) treatment-related (drug and/or device) neurological deficits as exhibited on neurological examination with severity of grade 3 or higher.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Treatment to progression, Up to 8 years

Population: 1 participant in Cohort 1 died before progression due to disease complications unrelated to treatment. 2 participants in Cohort 5 had not reached progression. These participants were excluded from the analysis.
