  1. AE adverse event, DLT dose-limiting toxicity, QD once daily, QD × 3dQW once daily for 3 days on and 4 days off each week, QD × 5dQW once daily for 5 days on and 2 days off each week, QW once weekly.
  2. aInitial dose cohorts for each of the alternate dosing schedules prior to a protocol amendment enrolled a single patient. If grade ≥ 2 AE, regardless of relatedness to sapanisertib was observed in any single-patient cohort, an additional 2–5 patients were assigned to that cohort and subsequent dose cohorts in that treatment arm would include 3–6 patients.
  3. bPatients who received ≥75% of the planned doses of sapanisertib in cycle 1 or stopped study drug before receiving 75% of the planned doses because of a study treatment-related AE considered a DLT.
  4. cPatients were enrolled into the 6 mg QD dosing schedule after the 7 mg QD dosing schedule.
  5. dFive patients required dose modification due to AEs.
