  1. AE adverse event, ALT alanine aminotransferase, AST aspartate aminotransferase, DLT dose-limiting toxicity, TEAE treatment-emergent adverse event.
  2. aNo grade 5 AEs were observed.
  3. bPatient had a reported serious AE of progression of non-small-cell lung cancer as the cause of death.
  4. cIn berzosertib + gemcitabine cohorts, the following DLTs were observed: increased grade 3 ALT and grade 3 fatigue (one patient; berzosertib 72 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 875 mg/m2), increased grade 3 AST (one patient; berzosertib 90 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 500 mg/m2), increased grade 3 ALT, grade 2 AST, and grade 2 blood alkaline. phosphatase (one patient; berzosertib 140 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 500 mg/m2) and grade 4 thrombocytopenia (one patient; berzosertib 72 mg/m2 + gemcitabine 875 mg/m2). In berzosertib + gemcitabine + cisplatin cohorts, two patients in the berzosertib 120 mg/m2 cohort had DLTs (grade 4 febrile neutropenia and neutropenia); a third patient (berzosertib 90 mg/m2) had a DLT of thrombocytopenia (grade 4). All these patients also received gemcitabine 875 mg/m2 and cisplatin 60 mg/m2.
  5. dOccurring in ≥10% of patients in the berzosertib + gemcitabine cohorts or in more than one patient in the berzosertib +  gemcitabine + cisplatin cohorts.
