AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this the study drug. An AE was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug. A serious AE was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. TEAEs are events with start date on or after the date of first dose of study treatment and up to and including 30 days after the last dose of study treatment, or events with start date prior to the date of first dose of study treatment, and worsened in severity or become serious during treatment. TEAEs include both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

Apparent total clearance (CL/F) was calculated as dose divided by area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC[inf]).

Apparent total clearance (CL/F) was calculated as dose divided by area under the plasma concentration-time profile from time zero extrapolated to infinity (AUC[inf]). This outcome was applicable for only combination arm in which evofosfamide was administered along with gemcitabine.

Volume of distribution was defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state.

Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state. This outcome was applicable for only combination arm in which evofosfamide was administered along with gemcitabine.

Apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase, calculated as Vz = Dose/AUC0-inf multiplied by elimination rate constant [λz]) following single dose. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to infinity, calculated (AUC0-inf) as AUC0-t + AUCextra. AUCextra represents an extrapolated value obtained by Clast / λz, where Clast is the calculated serum concentration at the last sampling time point at which the measured plasma concentration is at or above lower limit of quantification (LLQ) and λz is the elimination rate constant. And the elimination rate constant obtained from linear regression of the terminal phase of the log transformed concentration-time data.

Cumulative amount excreted in urine from time zero to the end of the last measurable concentration was reported.

Renal clearance is the volume of plasma from which the drug is completely removed by the kidney in a given amount of time.

BOR was determined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1). BOR was defined as the best response of any of the confirmed complete response (CR), confirmed partial response (PR), stable disease (SD) and progressive disease (PD). CR: Disappearance of all evidence of target and non-target lesions. PR: At least 30% reduction from baseline in the sum of the longest diameter (SLD) of all lesions. Stable disease (SD)=Neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR. PD was defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Number of participants with CR, PR, SD and PD were reported.

OR was determined according to RECIST v1.1. Objective response is defined as a best overall response of confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR).

Disease Control was defined as having achieved at least disease stabilization; that is participants with confirmed CR, PR, or SD lasting for at least 16 weeks. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: A decrease of at least 30% in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. PD: PD is defined as at least a 20 percent (%) increase in the SLD, taking as reference the smallest SLD recorded from baseline or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions.

Twelve-lead ECGs were performed and assessed after at least 5 minutes rest in supine position locally.

ECOG performance status measured to assess subject's performance status on a scale of 0 to 5, where 0=Fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease activities without restriction; 1=Restricted in physically strenuous activity, ambulatory and able to carry out light or sedentary work; 2=Ambulatory (more than 50% of waking hours), capable of all self-care, unable to carry out any work activities; 3=Capable of only limited self-care, confined to bed or chair more than 50% of waking hours; 4=Completely disabled, cannot carry on any self-care, totally confined to bed/chair; 5=Death. Number of participants with ECOG performance status score of 2 or higher than 2 were reported.
