Note: Previous trial size estimate of 100 patients was based on PK simulation of albumin-bound paclitaxel and

Cynviloq historical data with both drugs given at different doses and infusion rates. Based on the recent positive initial PK data and subject to FDA guidance, 53 patients may be sufficient to establish BE.
