SYNOPSIS 
Clinical Protocol CA139387 
Title of Study: Protocol CA139387: Rollover Study of Weekly Paclitaxel (BMS-181339) in Patients with 
Advanced Breast Cancer. 
Estimated Number of Study Centers and Countries/Regions: 5 sites/Japan 
Study Phase: II 
 
 
 
Primary Objective: The primary objective is to provide an access to Paclitaxel therapy to all subjects who 
have completed previous 
 and are deemed to be benefiting from this 
treatment (and should continue on this therapy) as assessed by the treating investigator(s). Cond study 
(CA 139-387) will also evaluate the frequency and the severity of observed adverse events in treated study 
subjects. 
Study Design: This study is a rollover study designed to provide an access to Paclitaxel therapy to breast 
cancer subjects who have completed previous 
 and are 
believed to be benefiting from this treatment as assessed by the treating investigator(s). Only breast cancer 
patients who have participated in a previous 
 can enroll in this 
rollover weekly Paclitaxel trial (CA139387) provided that they meet all eligibility criteria. Study subjects 
will receive weekly Paclitaxel at the dose consistent with their last dose in the previous Phase II weekly 
Paclitaxel trial. Paclitaxel will be given as a one hour intravenous (iv) infusion on Days 1, 8 15,22, 29, 36 
followed by 2 weeks of no treatment (observation). One treatment course will consist of 49 days. Safety 
assessment required in the protocol should be done at each of these weekly visits. Tumor response will be 
assessed at the completion of at least every 7 weeks. 
Number of Subjects per Group: Approximately 10 subjects. 
Study Population: Patients with advanced breast cancer that have completed therapy in a previous 
 and are proven to be benefiting from it with recommendation 
of continuation of this treatment, as assessed by the treating investigator(s).  
Test Product, Dose and Mode of Administration, Duration of Treatment: Paclitaxel will be 
administered intravenously by a 1-hour infusion for the first week of each treatment course. All patients 
will receive premedication with Paclitaxel given at the last dose that each individual patient was receiving 
on the  previous 
 The day of the initial drug dose administration on 
the given course is defined as Day 1 of the treatment course. Subsequent Paclitaxel administrations will be 
given on Days 8, 15, 22, 29 and 36 followed by two weeks of rest (i.e. until Day 49). One treatment course 
consists of 49 days total. 
Reference Therapy, Dose and Mode of Administration, Duration of Treatment: Not applicable. 
Criteria for Evaluation: Every adverse event shall be evaluated and its severity be graded according to 
the NCI- Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) Ver.2.0 (see Appendix 10; It also includes Japanese-
language version translated by the JCOG.). 
Responses will be assessed according to the “Evaluation Criteria on the Therapeutic Effects in Patients 
with Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer “(Extract) and RECIST criteria (See Appendix 7).   
Statistical Methods: Demographic data and safety will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

STUDY DESIGN AND EVALUATION 
3.1 
Study Design  
Only subjects who participated in the previous Phase II study may enroll in this 
rollover study provided that they meet all specified in this protocol inclusion and 
exclusion criteria. Subjects will receive weekly Paclitaxel at the dose that was their 
last dose on the previous 
 delivered as a one hour iv 
infusion on Days 1,8,15,22,29,36 followed by 2 weeks of rest (no therapy). One 
course of therapy  consists of 49 days.  The range of doses on this study are expected 
to be decided based on dose reductions seen in 
.  Safety assessment 
required in the protocol should be done at each of these weekly visits. Response to 
therapy will be assessed at least every 7 weeks, if clinically indicated. 
3.2 
Study Population 
Patients with advanced breast cancer who have completed weekly Paclitaxel dosing in 
previous 
 and are believed to benefit from this treatment 
with recommendation to continue this regimen, as assessed by the treating 
investigator(s). 
3.3 
Criteria for Evaluation 
Observed responses should be evaluated according to the “Evaluation Criteria on the 
Therapeutic Effects in Patients with Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer “(Extracts) 
and the “RECIST” criteria (See Appendix 7). 
Every observed adverse event shall be evaluated according to the NCI Common 
Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) Ver.2.0 (see Appendix 10, translated by the JCOG 
Japanese language version will also be available).  For any toxicity not defined by the 
NCI-CTC criteria, it must be classified into the category of “Other toxicity” with 
detailed description on the toxicity observed and be graded according to the following 
criteria:

Treatment Administration 
6.2.3.1 
Method 
The firs Paclitaxel dose on a given course is defined as Day 1 of therapy with 
subsequent drug administrations being given on Days 8, 15, 22, 29 and 36 followed 
by 2 weeks of rest (no drug given). One course of treatment will therfore consist of 
total of 49 days. 
1) 
Pre-medications (also see Section 6.5.1) 
The following premedications must be given before each paclitaxel infusion 
• Dexamethasone 8 mg i.v.(*: Dose can be reduced to 4mg → 2mg → 1mg) 
administered 1 hour before and completed 30 minutes prior to the initiation of the 
paclitaxel infusion 
• Ranitidine 50 mg i.v.- administered 1 hour before and completed 30 minutes prior 
to the initiation of the paclitaxel infusion 
• Diphenhydramine 50 mg p.o. 
 
(*): Dexamethasone: 
Dexamethasone dose at the initial administration day (Day 1) shall be the same as the 
last dose in the previous 
. If any hypersensitivity reaction 
was observed at the last dose in the previous Phase II study, a dosage of 
dexamethasone shall be double of the last dose. During the observation period 
(Days 1 – 7), if there are no specific clinical problems, dexamethasone dose for the 
subsequent week (Day 8) would be allowed to be decreased by half the dose from the 
previous week (i.e.4mg), if necessary. Consequently, if no clinically significant 
hypersensitivity reaction is observed in a week following the drug administration, it 
would be possible to use again a half of the previous dexamethasone dose (i.e. 2mg), 
if necessary. The minimum dexamethasone dosage however, can not be less then 
1 mg). If clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction develops, and it is judged that 
further continuation of weekly Paclitaxel is in the best patient’s interest, 
dexamethasone dose shall be double the previous dose (e.g. if 8 mg was given and 
there was an event observed then, the next dexamethasone should be 16 mg) for the 
subsequent Paclitaxel administrations.

Criteria for re-treatment within the course of therapy 
(Days: 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 of a therapy course)  
An in-course repeated dosing could be allowed only when the laboratory test values 
and clinical assessments in the previous week or immediately before Paclitaxel 
administration meet the following requirements; 
• WBC count of 2,000/µL or above, or absolute neutrophile count (ANC) of 
1,000/µL or above.  
• Platelet count of 75,000/µL or above. 
• No Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy and/or Grade 2 arthralgia/myalgia 
despite optimal medical therapy which, in the opinion of treating investigator(s), 
will make further Paclitaxel therapy unsafe. 
• Any serious, clinically unmanageable by standard medical therapy (i.e. G-CSF for 
neutropenia, 
blood 
transfusion 
for 
anemia, 
etc.) 
adverse 
event(s), 
subjective/objective findings, abnormal laboratory values etc. occur that, in the 
opinion of treating investigator(s), will make unsafe to continue further Paclitaxel 
therapy. 
If the patient does not meet above requirements or if the investigator/sub-investigator 
judges that, it is in the best patient’s interest to delay Paclitaxel dosing, the drug 
administration shall be postponed by one week. Reasons for this decision should be 
described in a case report form. A dose modification, if appropriate, should be

performed for a successive in-course dosing. (See Section 6.2.3 “Dose 
Modification"). 
The study should be discontinued if more than two consecutive Paclitaxel 
administrations or more than three out of six doses total within the given treatment 
course are not delivered. However, in patients with evidence of Paclitaxel anti-tumor 
effects, as judged by the treating investigator(s), subsequent Paclitaxel therapy 
following longer than allowed suspension of treatment may be allowed. The reasons 
for this decision shall be described in a case report form and all safety precautions 
should be observed. 
6.2.3.3 
Re-treatment Criteria for Course 2 and thereafter 
The second and consequent courses of therapy should be started after confirmation 
that the following criteria are all met prior to the drug administration.   
• WBC count of 3,000/µL or above, or ANC of 1,500/µL or above.  
• Platelet count of 75,000/µL or above. 
• No Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy and/or Grade 2 arthralgia/myalgia 
despite optimal medical therapy which, in the opinion of treating investigator(s), 
will make further Paclitaxel therapy unsafe. 
• Any serious, clinically unmanageable by standard medical therapy (i.e. G-CSF for 
neutropenia, 
blood 
transfusion 
for 
anemia, 
etc.) 
adverse 
event(s), 
subjective/objective findings, abnormal laboratory values etc. occur that, in the 
opinion of the treating investigator(s), will make unsafe to continue further 
Paclitaxel therapy. 
• No Grade 3 or higher non-hematological toxicity despite optimal medical therapy. 
 
When any one of the criteria is not met, administration should not be started (a dose 
modification should be performed for a successive in-course repeated dosing. See 
Section 6.2.3 “Dose Modification").  Paclitaxel therapy should be started as soon as 
the laboratory test values and the symptoms are recovered to the acceptable level. 
However, if the re-treatment criteria are not met following 2 weeks after the 
scheduled initiation date of the given treatment course, the study therapy shall be 
discontinued in a given patient. When the initiation of the treatment course is delayed, 
the delayed initiation date shall be set as Day 1 of the given course with the 
subsequent treatment schedule adjusted accordingly. 
However, in the given patient (i.e. in case of electrolytes abnormalities, etc.), if in the 
opinion of the treating investigator(s) it is still safe and in the best patient’s interest to

treatment may continue but the reasons for this decision must be described in the case 
report form. 
6.2.4 
Dose Modifications 
Paclitaxel dose shall be reduced according to the severity of an adverse event using 
criteria listed below. Paclitaxel dose should be decreased by the increment of 
20mg/m2 /dose. Patients who require a decrease below the total of 60mg/m2 /dose will 
be discontinued from treatment.. 
• WBC count: less than 1000/µL (*1) 
• Grade 3 neutropenia (neutrophils count <1000/µL but ≥ 500//µL) or higher, 
neutropenia associated with fever (≥38°C) or infection   
• Grade 3 or higher non-hematological toxicity (*2) 
• Development of Grade 2 or higher peripheral neuropathy and/or Grade 2 
arthralgia/myalgia despite optimal medical therapy which, in the opinion of 
treating investigator(s), will make further Paclitaxel therapy clinically difficult. 
• When an investigator/sub-investigator judges to be clinically appropriate to skip a 
scheduled drug administration and/or to require a dose reduction. 
• In the opinion of the treating investigator/sub-investigator there is a need for dose 
modification. Reasons for this decision should be described in a case report form. 
 
(*1) Dose reduction based on the WBC count being less than 1,000/µL shall  depend 
on a decision of treating investigator/sub-investigator (taking into consideration the 
time of bone marrow recovery, clinical scenario for a given patient, etc.). 
(*2): For the given patient, if in the opinion of the treating investigator/sub-
investigator it is not clinically necessary to reduce the Paclitaxel dose (including 
Grade 3 or higher electrolyte abnormality, etc.) the dose may stay the same however, 
the reason for this decision must be described in a case report form. 
6.2.5 
Discontinuation of Therapy 
Study therapy MUST be immediately discontinued for the following reasons: 
• If the clinical efficacy evaluation reveals progressive disease (PD). 
• Withdrawal of informed consent (subject’s decision to withdraw for any reason). 
• Any clinical adverse event, laboratory abnormality or intercurrent illness which, in 
the opinion of the investigator, indicates that continued treatment with study 
therapy is not in the best interest of the subject.

Non-therapy Precautions and Restrictions 
6.5.1 
Precautions 
1) Pre-medication drugs:  
Based on the foreign literature, prolonged use of dexamethasone as pre-medication for 
the weekly Paclitaxel regimen appears is utilized. Compared with the dosing method 
for every 3 weeks Paclitaxel schedule, the total volume of steroids administered with 
the weekly regimen(s) appears to be fairly large. Therefore, it is considered highly 
likely that this may cause suppression of the adrenocortical function hence, lower 
doses of dexamethasone are permitted  based on tolerance of the individual patient. 
A clinical study reported by 
  using decreasing doses of dexamethasone 
demonstrated that the dose of 20mg of dexamethasone (administered twice: 12 hours 
and 6 hours before Paclitaxel infusion) was gradually decreased to 2mg and only 
1/22 patients developed skin rash but others tolerated Paclitaxel therapy well. Another 
report by 
 revealed following results: 16mg of dexamethasone was 
administered as pre-medication to 43 patients. There was one patient with apnea that 
resolved without treatment but other 42 patients had no evidence of any  
hypersensitivity reaction. 
Based on these reports, in the Japanese Phase I weekly Paclitaxel study, 
dexamethasone was initially administered at the 16mg dose, which was lower than the 
approved 20 mg dose, with subsequent decrease to a total of 2 mg. During this study 
dexamethasone dosing was further changed to the initial dose of 8 mg with 
subsequent dose decrease to a total of 1mg.  With this last dexamethasone 
pre-medication regimen there were no hypersensitivity reaction observed. 
Based on these data, the pre-medication regimen shall be used as described in the 
Section 6.2.2.1 (1).

BMS-181339 
Clinical Protocol 
Immediately prior to the infusion, Paclitaxel shall be mixed with 250 ml of a saline 
solution or 5% glucose solution and administered as a 1-hour IV infusion.   
Containers for the solution MUST be made of glass, polyethylene or polypropylene.  
Paclitaxel is known to dissolve the container if it is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) 
and the plasticizer, DEHP[di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate], in the container may cause 
leaching.   
2-2) Injection kit 
An injection kit made of PVC should NOT be used because of a possible leaching 
caused by plasticizer (DEHP). For the Paclitaxel injection, an in-line filter must be 
used. 
2-3) Other Caution Items 
Paclitaxel is reconstituted with ethanol as a solvent.  For any patient with alcoholic 
sensitivity, administration shall be made with full care.  Upon administration, a 
patient’s subjective and objective symptoms shall be carefully monitored and a patient 
should be carefully monitored during the time-points specified below;  
a) First-at 30 minutes following initiation of IV infusion for possible development of 
immediate allergy-like symptom or arrhythmia 
b) Subsequently- during and immediately after completion of IV infusion for 
possible hypotension.   
For treatment of immediate allergy-like symptoms, arrhythmia or hypotension, 
refer to Appendix 9.

ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING IN CLINICAL TRIALS 
9.1 
Importance of Adverse Event Reporting  
Timely and complete reporting of safety information assists BMS/BMKK in 
identifying any untoward medical occurrence, thereby allowing:  (1) protection of 
safety of study subjects; (2) a greater understanding of the overall safety profile of the 
investigational product; (3) recognition of dose-related investigational product 
toxicity; (4) appropriate modification of study protocols; (5) improvements in study 
design or procedures; and (6) adherence to worldwide regulatory requirements. 
9.2 
Collection of Safety Information 
In BMS/BMKK clinical trials, an Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any new 
untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a 
patient or clinical investigation subject administered a medicinal product and which

does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can 
therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory 
finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a 
medicinal (investigational or marketed) product, whether or not considered related to 
the medicinal (investigational or marketed) product.   
During clinical trials, adverse events can be spontaneously reported or elicited during 
open-ended questioning, examination, or evaluation of a subject. (In order to prevent 
reporting bias, patients should not be questioned regarding the specific occurrence of 
one or more adverse events.) 
Following the subject’s written consent to participate in the study, all serious AEs 
should be collected. The collection of non-serious AE information should begin at 
initiation of investigational product. Non-serious AE information should also be 
collected from the start of a placebo lead-in period or other observational period 
intended to establish a baseline status for the patient. 
All identified AEs must be recorded and described on the appropriate Non-serious or 
Serious AE page of the CRF. If known, the diagnosis of the underlying illness or 
disorder should be recorded, rather than its individual symptoms.  The following 
information should be captured for all AEs: date (and time) of onset and resolution, 
severity of the event (see definitions), investigator’s opinion of the relationship to 
investigational product (see definitions), treatment required for the AE (see 
categories), cause of the event (if known), and information regarding 
resolution/outcome (see definitions).   
Severity will be graded according to the... NCI-CTC 
The following categories and definitions of severity should be used for AEs in this 
clinical trial:   
• Mild (Grade I) - Awareness of event but easily tolerated 
• Moderate (Grade II) - Discomfort enough to cause some interference with usual 
activity 
• Severe (Grade III) - Inability to carry out usual activity 
• Very Severe (Grade IV) - Debilitating, significantly incapacitates subject despite 
symptomatic therapy

be used for all BMS/BMKK clinical trial AEs:

• Certain:  There is a reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and the 
AE.  The event responds to withdrawal of study drug (dechallenge), and recurs 
with rechallenge when clinically feasible. 
• Probable:  There is a reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and 
the AE.  The event responds to dechallenge.  Rechallenge is not required. 
• Possible:  There is reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and the 
AE.  Dechallenge information is lacking or unclear. 
• Not likely: There is a temporal relationship to study drug administration, but there 
is not a reasonable causal relationship between the study drug and the AE.   
• Unrelated:  There is not a temporal relationship to study drug administration (too 
early, or late, or study drug not taken), or there is a reasonable causal relationship 
between another drug, concurrent disease, or circumstance and the AE. 
 
The adverse event will be regarded as related to study drug if the causal relationship is 
assessed as either "1. Certain ","2. Probable" or "3. Possible”. 
If a causal relation of an adverse event is assessed as “4. Not likely” or "5. Unrelated," 
reasons for the evaluation are to be described.  
The following categories and definitions of outcome /resolution should be used for all

9.3 
Adverse Events Related to Study Conditions 
If the investigator believes that an SAE is not related to the investigational product, 
but is potentially related to the conditions of the study, (such as withdrawal of 
previous therapy, or complication of a diagnostic procedure), the relationship should 
be specified in the narrative section of the SAE page of the CRF. 
9.4 
Overdose 
An overdose is defined as the accidental or intentional ingestion of any dose of a 
product that is considered both excessive and medically important.  For reporting 
purposes, BMS considers an overdose, regardless of adverse outcome, as an important 
medical event (see Serious Adverse Events). 
9.5 
AE Follow-up 
AEs should be followed to resolution or stabilization, and reported as SAEs if they 
become serious.  This also applies to subjects experiencing AEs that cause 
interruption or discontinuation of investigational product, or those experiencing AEs 
that are present at the end of their participation in the study; such subjects should 
receive post-treatment follow-up as appropriate. If an ongoing AE changes in its 
severity or in its perceived relationship to study drug, a new AE entry for the event 
should be completed. 
9.6 
Reporting of AE Information Following Study 
Completion 
Collection of safety information following the end of investigational product 
administration is important in assisting in the identification of possible delayed 
toxicities or withdrawal effects. In BMS/BMKK trials, all SAEs must be collected 
which occur within 30 days of discontinuation of dosing or completion of the 
patient’s participation in the study if the last scheduled visit occurs at a later time. In

addition, the investigator should notify BMS/BMKK of any SAE which may occur 
after this time period which they believe to be certainly, probably or possibly related 
to investigational product. 
9.7 
Handling of Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) 
A serious AE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:  
• results in death,  
• is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the subject or patient was at risk 
of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically 
might have caused death if it were more severe),  
• requires 
inpatient 
hospitalization 
or 
causes 
prolongation 
of 
existing 
hospitalization,  
• results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity,  
• is a cancer, 
• is a congenital anomaly/birth defect,  
• results in the development of drug dependency or drug abuse,  
• is an important medical event (defined as a medical event(s) that may not be 
immediately life-threatening or result in death or hospitalization but, based upon 
appropriate medical and scientific judgment, may jeopardize the patient/subject or 
may require intervention (e.g., medical, surgical) to prevent one of the other 
serious outcomes listed in the definition above.)  Examples of such events include, 
but are not limited to, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for 
allergic bronchospasm; blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in 
hospitalization.)  For reporting purposes, BMS/BMKK also considers the 
occurrences of pregnancy or overdose (regardless of adverse outcome) as events 
which must be reported as important medical events. 
 
Adverse events classified as "serious" must be recorded on the SERIOUS AE (SAE) 
page of the CRF and require expeditious handling and reporting to BMKK as well as 
to the head of the medical institutions to comply with regulatory requirements.  
All serious AEs whether related or unrelated to investigational product, must be 
immediately reported to BMKK as well as to the head of the medical institution (or 
designee) by confirmed facsimile transmission. A documented telephone call may be 
used in lieu of a facsimile. If only limited information is initially available, follow-up 
reports are required. The original BMKK SAE form must be kept on file at the 
sponsor.  In selected circumstances, the protocol may specify conditions which 
require additional telephone reporting.

Cases of pregnancy must be reported on Pregnancy Surveillance Forms in lieu of SAE 
pages (see Section 9.10). 
Collection of complete information concerning SAEs is extremely important. Thus, 
follow-up information which becomes available as the SAE evolves, as well as 
supporting documentation (e.g., hospital discharge summaries and autopsy reports), 
should be collected subsequently, if not available at the time of the initial report, and 
immediately sent using the same procedure as the initial SAE report.

the investigational product. This notification will be in the form of a Safety Update.  
Upon receiving such notices, the Investigator must review and retain the notice with 
the Investigator Brochure. At the same time sponsor will immediately submit a copy 
of this information to the Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics 
Committee (IEC) according to local regulations, via the head of the medical 
institution. The Investigator and IRB/IEC will determine if the informed consent

an AE becomes identified in the Investigator Brochure, it will continue to be reported 
to Investigators and to health authorities in line with local regulations.   
9.8 
Laboratory Test Abnormalities 
All laboratory test values captured as part of the study should be recorded on the 
appropriate laboratory test results pages of the CRF, or be submitted electronically 
from a central lab.  In addition, in order for BMKK to collect additional information 
about clinically important laboratory abnormalities, at a minimum, the following 
laboratory abnormalities should be captured on the non-serious or serious AE pages of 
the CRF as appropriate:  
• Any laboratory test result that meets the criteria for a Serious Adverse Event  
• Any laboratory abnormality that required the patient to have investigational 
product discontinued or interrupted 
• Any laboratory abnormality that required the patient to receive specific corrective 
therapy. 
 
It is expected that wherever possible, the clinical, rather than the laboratory term 
would be used by the reporting investigator (e.g., anemia versus low hemoglobin 
value). 
A detailed definition of abnormal laboratory changes and outcome is provided in 
Appendix 5. 
9.9 
Other Safety Considerations 
Any clinically significant changes noted during interim or final physical 
examinations, electrocardiograms, x-rays, and any other potential safety assessments, 
whether or not these procedures are required by the protocol, should also be recorded 
on the appropriate AE page of the CRF (i.e., NON-SERIOUS or SERIOUS).

Pregnancy 
Sexually active women of childbearing potential must use an effective method of birth 
control during the course of the study, in a manner such that risk of failure is 
minimized.  (See Section 5.1 for definition of WOCBP).

Clinical Protocol 
Before enrolling women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) in this clinical trial, 
Investigators must review the guideline about study participation for WOCBP which 
can be found in the GCP Manual for Investigators.  The topics include the following: 
• General Information 
• Informed Consent Form 
• Pregnancy Prevention Information Sheet 
• Drug Interactions with Hormonal Contraceptives 
• Contraceptives in Current Use 
• Guidelines for the Follow-up of a Reported Pregnancy 
 
Prior to study enrollment, WOCBP must be advised of the importance of avoiding 
pregnancy during trial participation and the potential risk factors for an unintentional 
pregnancy. The subject must sign an informed consent form documenting this 
discussion.  
All WOCBP MUST have a negative pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to 
receiving investigational product. The minimum sensitivity of the pregnancy test must 
be 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG. If the pregnancy test is positive, the subject 
must not receive investigational product and must not be enrolled in the study. 
Pregnancy testing must also be performed throughout the study as specified in 
Section 7.3.3 and the results of all pregnancy tests (positive or negative) recorded on 
the case report form. 
In addition, all WOCBP should be instructed to contact the Investigator 
immediately if they suspect they might be pregnant (e.g., missed or late 
menstrual period) at any time during study participation. 
If following initiation of study treatment, it is subsequently discovered that a trial 
subject is pregnant or may have been pregnant at the time of investigational product 
exposure, including during at least 6 half-lives after product administration, the 
investigational product will be permanently discontinued in an appropriate manner 
(e.g., dose tapering if necessary for subject safety). Exceptions to investigational 
product discontinuation may be considered for life-threatening conditions only after 
consultation with the BMKK Medical Monitor or as otherwise specified in this 
protocol. The Investigator must immediately notify the BMKK Medical Monitor of 
this event and record the pregnancy on the Pregnancy Surveillance Form. Pregnancy 
Surveillance Forms are forwarded to BMKK as described in Section 9.7 (SAEs).

Clinical Protocol 
Protocol-required procedures for study discontinuation and follow-up must be 
performed on the subject unless contraindicated by pregnancy (e.g., x-ray studies).  
Other appropriate pregnancy follow-up procedures should be considered if indicated.  
In addition, the Investigator must report to BMKK, on the appropriate BMKK 
pregnancy surveillance forms(s), follow-up information regarding the course of the 
pregnancy, including perinatal and neonatal outcome.  Infants should be followed for 
a minimum of eight weeks.

ADMINISTRATIVE SECTION 
10.1 
Compliance with the Protocol and Protocol Revisions 
The study shall be conducted as described in this approved protocol. All revisions to 
the protocol must be discussed with, and be prepared by, BMKK. The Investigator 
should not implement any deviation or change to the protocol without prior review 
and documented approval/favorable opinion from the IRB/IEC of an Amendment, 
except where necessary to eliminate an immediate hazard(s) to study subjects. Any 
significant deviation must be documented in the CRF or in the specific sheet provided 
to record these deviations. 
If a deviation or change to a protocol is implemented to eliminate an immediate 
hazard(s) prior to obtaining IRB/IEC approval/favorable opinion, as soon as possible 
the deviation or change will be submitted to: 
• IRB/IEC, via the head of the medical institution, for review and 
approval/favorable opinion; 
• Bristol-Myers K.K.; 
• The head of the medical institution; 
• Regulatory Authority(ies), if required by local regulations. 
 
Documentation of approval signed by the chairperson or designee of the 
IRB(s)/IEC(s) must be sent to BMKK. 
If the revision is an Administrative Letter, the Sponsor must inform their 
IRB(s)/IEC(s) via the head of the medical institution.  
If an Amendment substantially alters the study design or increases the potential risk to

prior to enrollment. 
10.2 
Informed Consent 
Investigators must ensure that subjects are clearly and fully informed about the 
purpose, potential risks and other critical issues regarding clinical trials in which they 
volunteer to participate. 
10.2.1 
Informed Consent Procedures 
Preparation of the consent form is the responsibility of the Investigator and must 
include all elements required by ICH, GCP and applicable regulatory requirements, 
and must adhere to GCP and to the ethical principles that have their origin in the 
Declaration of Helsinki. The consent form must also include a statement that BMKK 
and regulatory authorities have direct access to subject records. Prior to the beginning 
of the study, the Investigator must have the IRB/IEC’s written approval/favorable 
opinion of the written informed consent form and any other information to be 
provided to the subjects. 
The Investigator must provide the subject with a copy of the consent form and written 
information about the study in the language in which the subject is most proficient. 
The language must be non-technical and easily understood. The Investigator should 
allow time necessary for subject to inquire about the details of the study, then 
informed consent must be signed and personally dated by the subject and by the 
person who conducted the informed consent discussion. The subject should receive a 
copy of the signed informed consent and any other written information provided to 
study subjects prior to subject's participation in the trial.

subjects with no marketed treatment options, the investigator must take special care to 
explain the potential risks and benefits associated with the trial and ensure that the 
subject is giving informed consent. 
When a subject may be in a dependent relationship with the investigator, a 
subinvestigator who is completely independent of the relationship between the subject 
and investigator should obtain the subject’s informed consent. 
10.2.3 
Illiterate Subjects 
If the subject is unable to read, a reliable and independent witness should be present 
during the entire informed consent discussion. The choice of the witness must not 
breach the subject’s rights to confidentiality. A reliable independent witness is defined 
as one not affiliated with the institution or engaged in the investigation. A family 
member or acquaintance are appropriate independent witnesses. After the subject 
orally consents and has signed, if capable, the witness should sign and personally date 
the consent form attesting that the information is accurate and that the subject has 
fully understood the content of the informed consent agreement and is giving true 
informed consent.   
10.2.4 
Update of Informed Consent 
The informed consent and any other information provided to subjects, should be 
revised whenever important new information becomes available that is relevant to the 
subject's consent, and should receive IRB/IEC approval/favorable opinion prior to 
use. The Investigator, or a person designated by the head of the medical institution, 
should fully inform the subject of all pertinent aspects of the study and of any new 
information relevant to the subject's willingness to continue participation in the study. 
This communication should be documented.  
During a subject's participation in the trial, any updates to the consent form and any 
updates to the written information will be provided to the subject. 
10.3 
Monitoring for Protocol Compliance 
Representatives of BMKK/BMS must be allowed to visit all study site locations 
periodically to assess the data, quality and study integrity. On site they will review

General Statement 
 
The subject must not be, and should not become pregnant during exposure 
to the investigational product. Subjects should be instructed to contact the 
Investigator if they plan to change their pregnancy avoidance method or if 
they need to take any prescription drug or other medication not prescribed 
by Investigator. Sexually active subjects must use an effective method of 
pregnancy avoidance during the course of the study, in a manner such that 
risk of failure is minimized. The informed consent must indicate that 
information on pregnancy prevention for women of child-bearing potential 
has been reviewed with the subject by the Investigator or study designee. 
 
 
2 
Laboratory & Animal Reproductive Toxicology 
 
A statement addressing what is known about the investigational product 
from laboratory and animal reproductive toxicity studies concerning 
possible mutagenic and/or teratogenic effects should be included in the 
consent. The consent should indicate that this information has limited 
predictive value for humans. 
 
 
3 
Unforeseeable Risks 
 
The consent must indicate that exposure to the investigational product may 
involve currently unforeseeable risks to the subject (or embryo or fetus, if 
the subject is or may become pregnant). 
 
 
4 
Occurrence of Pregnancy or Suspected Pregnancy 
 
The informed consent must include study contact name(s) and telephone 
number(s) for the subject to call if she becomes pregnant or suspects 
pregnancy, has missed her period or it is late, or she has a change in her 
usual menstrual cycle (e.g., heavier bleeding during her period or bleeding 
between periods). 
 
 
5 
Discontinuation from the Study 
 
Any subject who becomes pregnant during the course of the study will be 
immediately withdrawn (unless allowed or stated differently in the protocol) 
and referred for obstetrical care. All financial aspects of obstetrical, child or 
related care are the responsibility of the subject. 
 
 
6 
Pregnancy Follow-up 
 
If a subject becomes pregnant, BMS will seek access to the subject's and/or 
infant's clinic/hospital records through the pregnancy, and for a minimum of 
8 weeks following delivery.

When applicable, the informed consent should clearly indicate if a 
contraceptive method is prohibited (e.g., when hormonal contraceptive 
interaction with the investigational product(s) is known or suspected). In 
this situation, a study participant should be instructed to notify the 
Investigator or study designee if a prohibited contraceptive method is 
initiated during the course of the study so that additional precautions can be 
taken or the subject discontinued from the study. 
 
 
8 
Non-investigational product Interactions with Hormonal Contraceptives 
 
Women using a hormonal method of contraception (oral contraceptives, 
implantable or injectable agents) must be instructed to notify the 
Investigator or study designee of the need to take any prescription drug or 
other medication not prescribed by the Investigator. The purpose of this 
statement is to identify any potential non-investigational product interaction 
with the contraceptive which might reduce the effectiveness of the 
contraceptive method.

APPENDIX 5 
DEFINITION OF ABNORMAL CHANGES AND 
OUTCOME OF LABORATORY TESTS  
Laboratory values will be monitored, and their significance will be evaluated by the 
investigator/subinvestigator taking in consideration how they evolve throughout the 
study. Any abnormal change observed, per the definition below, shall be recorded in 
the appropriate form as an “Adverse Event”, together with its severity, actions taken 
and causal relationship to study drug, to be evaluated as described Section 9 in this 
protocol For details on the follow-up of AEs please refer to Section 9 in this protocol.  
On laboratory test values: The abnormal values shall be evaluated according to the 
NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC) ver.2.0 (Translated version into Japanese

by the JCOG will also be available in Appendix 10) . For the item that is not listed in 
the NCI-CTC, a normal value at each study site shall be applied). 
 
1) Definition of abnormal changes 
For laboratory test parameters, an "abnormal value" is defined as a value deviated 
from the normal range specified at the medical institution. When a laboratory 
value is initially "normal" and becomes "abnormal" during the treatment period or 
is initially "abnormal" and further "aggravates," such a change in laboratory 
values, if it is clinically significant (adverse event), is considered to be an 
"abnormal change." 
If the investigator/subinvestigator did not assess such a change in laboratory 
values as an "abnormal change," the investigator/subinvestigator must provide 
details of and reasons for the assessment in column "Comment" on the laboratory 
pages of the CRF. 
2) Outcome 
The outcome of an abnormal change will be recorded according to the following 
criteria: 
1) Did not resolve: The value remained outside the normal range and continued to be 
clinically significant (or worsened with a consequent increase in severity) 
2) Resolved: The value was reversed to the pretreatment level or returned to a 
normal range 
3) Resolved, but residual effect(s) persist: The value was not reversed to a normal 
range but improved to a clinically insignificant level 
4) Unknown: Use of an alternative therapeutic method or failure of following-up (the 
reasons should be described)

CRITERIA FOR RESPONSE 
7.1 
Evaluation Criteria on Therapeutic Effects in Patients with 
Advanced or Recurrent Breast Cancer(Extracts) 
7.1.1 Measurement of a Lesion 
1-1 Tumor lesion sites are divided into 13, as shown in Table 1, and individually 
measured site-by-site.  These lesions include the 3 categories; 1) bi-
directional measurable lesions, 2) one-directional measurable lesions and 3) 
immeasurable (evaluable) lesions.  However, if two or more categories of 
lesions co-exist in one identical lesion site, these lesions shall independently 
be measured for records.  The measurement shall in principle be made every 
4 weeks.   
1-2 A bi-directional lesion represents a product multiplying the largest diameter 
by its vertical counterpart diameter. (cm2)  If a plural number of lesions exist 
in one identical lesion site, a product for each lesion must separately be 
figured out.  In case only one directional measurement could be available in a 
front view image by X-ray, etc., a measured value of lateral view that is 
assumed to be vertical to the front view could be allowable for use.   
1-3 One directional lesion measurement must always be done on one identical 
site. (cm)  If a plural number of lesions exist in one identical lesion site, a 
product for each lesion must separately be figured out. 
1-4 In an immeasurable (evaluable) lesion, an evaluation must be made as much 
as possible on a dose-response reaction using various parameters 
(radiography, diagnostic imaging methods and other useful means to trace 
the post-dose progresses) before and during the therapeutic period. 
1-5 An efficacy evaluation on radiotherapy shall be applied only to the limited 
area of irradiated lesion.   
7.1.2 Definition of Objective Effects 
2-1 CR(Complete Response): A disappearance of all tumor lesions confirmed 
lasts at lest 4 weeks or longer. 
2-1-1  For each skeletal (osseous) lesion, a definition shall be made as follows; 
1) In osteolytic lesions prior to this study drug therapy, it shall be defined 
as a fluoroscopically completely hardened or a recovered back-to-
normal. 
2) In osteogenic lesions prior to this study drug therapy, it shall be defined 
as a fluoroscopically significant decrease in concentration level.   
Note 1:Bone scintigraphy findings could be available for use as an 
auxiliary tool for diagnostics.

Note 2:For the spinal bones, a diagnosis by CT or MRI is better.   
2-2 Partial Response(PR): defined as a decrease by 50% or more in a total 
product of measurable lesions.  In an immeasurable (evaluable) lesion, 
defined as a clear improvement.  As for any bone metastasis, defined as a 
calcification of bone-soluble lesion or a decrease in concentration of an 
osteogenic lesion.  These phenomena must last at least 4 weeks or longer.  
During the course, either one of the lesions (secondary lesions included) shall 
not be increased by 25% or more and not bear any new lesion. 
2-3 No Change (NC):  defined as a decrease by 50% or  less or as an increase by 
25% or more in a total product of measurable lesions.  In immeasurable 
(evaluable) and secondary lesions, neither clear improvement nor clear 
increase is shown and no new lesion appears in either case.  These 
phenomena must last at least 4 weeks or longer, and for a bone lesion 8 
weeks or more. 
2-4 Progressive Disease(PD): defined as an increase by 25% or more in a total 
product of measurable lesions; a significant increase of measurable 
(evaluable) and secondary lesions, or a development of new lesion.  
However, in case of bone metastasis, a pathological fracture or necrosis (or 
weakness) will not always be interpreted as an evidence for progressive 
disease.   
2-4-1  Though an improvement seen in some lesions and a total product of 
lesions reveals a shrinkage, if any one of the lesions that shows an 
increase by 25% or more at the time of the most shrunken compared 
with the baseline value, it shall be defined as PD.  However, even if any 
one of the lesions that shows an increase by 25% or more at the time of 
the most shrinkage compared with the baseline value in patients with 
PR, it shall be interpreted as PR as long as thr shrinkage rate stays at 
50% or lower compared with the baseline values. (Actual cases seen 
below)

Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 
(RECIST;Outlines) 
7.2.1 
Measurability of Tumor Lesions at Baseline 
At baseline, tumor lesions will be categorized as: 
 
measurable lesions: lesions that can be accurately measured in at least one 
dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as 20 mm 
with conventional techniques or as 10 mm with spiral CT 
scan. 
non- measurable lesions: all other lesions, including small lesions (longest 
diameter 20 mm with conventional techniques or 10 mm 
with spiral CT scan) and truly non-measurable lesions. 
 
All measurements should be recorded in metric notation, using a ruler or calipers. 
All baseline evaluations should be performed as close as possible to the treatment 
start and never more than 4 weeks before the beginning of the treatment. 
Lesions that are considered as truly non-measurable include the following: 
• bone lesions; 
• leptomeningeal disease; 
• ascites; 
• pleural/pericardial effusion; 
• inflammatory breast disease; 
• lymphangitis cutis/pulmonis; 
• abdominal masses that are not confirmed and followed by imaging techniques; 
• cystic lesions;

Baseline Documentation of "Target" and "Non-Target" 
Lesions 
All measurable lesions up to a maximum of 10 lesions representative of all involved 
organs should be identified as target lesions and will be recorded and measured at 
baseline. Target lesions should be selected on the basis of their size (lesions with the 
longest diameter) and their suitability for accurate repetitive measurements (either by 
imaging techniques or clinically). A sum of the longest diameter (LD) for all target 
lesions will be calculated and reported as the baseline sum LD. The baseline sum LD 
will be used as reference to further characterize the objective tumor response of the 
measurable dimension of the disease. 
All other lesions (or sites of disease) should be identified as non-target lesions and 
should also be recorded at baseline. Measurements are not required and these lesions 
should be followed as “Present” or “Absent”.

APPENDIX 9 
THERAPEUTIC ACTIONS FOR ACUTE 
ALLERGIC SYMPTOMS, ARRHYTHMIA, 
HYPOTENSION OR INTERSTITIAL 
PNEUMONIA 
Careful monitoring should be made, especially during the first 30 minutes after 
initiation of infusion when hypersensitivity reactions (immediate type allergy-like 
symptoms) or arrhythmia possibly appear, during, and after, the infusion when 
hypotension may appear.  
[Hypersensitivity Reactions (Immediate type Allergy-like Symptoms)] 
In the U.S. clinical studies, the reported hypersensitivity reactions (immediate type 
allergy-like symptoms) attributed to paclitaxel administration included dyspnea, 
bronchospasm, decreased blood pressure, increased blood pressure, angioedema 
(laryngeal stridor, epiglottic swelling, periorbital edema, etc.), urticaria, flushing, 
erythematous rash, abdominal pain, pain of extremities, vomiting, fever, and rigidity. 
In the event of clear evidence of hypersensitivity reaction (immediate type 
allergy-like reactions), paclitaxel should immediately be discontinued, and the 
following actions should be taken while close cardiopulmonary monitoring: 
1) 
Diphenhydramine-calcium 
bromide 
(5 
ml; 
containing 
20 
mg 
of 
diphenhydramine) should be intravenously administered (the dose should be 
adjusted appropriately according to the patient™s status). 
2) Epinephrine (not greater than 0.25 mg) should be diluted with saline or other 
solvents and administered intravenously as slowly as possible. This course 
should be repeated at 5- to 15-minute intervals at its need (alternatives are 
dobutamine and dopamine preparations). 
a) Hypotension not responding to epinephrine: Central venous pressure and 
other cardiovascular parameters should be monitored, and intravenous fluid 
should be given, if necessary. 
b) Stridor not responding to epinephrine: bronchodilators such as salbutamol 
sulfate (1.5 - 2.5 mg of salbutamol or equivalent doses of other drugs) 
should be given by inhalation, using a nebulizer. 
3) It is known that corticosteroids are effective in blocking allergic reactions of 
delayed type due to various antigens. Sodium methylprednisolone succinate

Clinical Protocol 
 
 
125 mg may be administered intravenously for prevention of recurrence or 
allergic symptoms. 
 
[Arrhythmia] 
The following therapeutic actions may be taken for arrhythmia: 
1) Asymptomatic bradycardia: paclitaxel may be continued. 
2) Symptomatic bradycardia: paclitaxel should be discontinued. 
3) Marked sinus bradycardia: paclitaxel should be discontinued, and atropine 
should be administered intravenously at 5-minute intervals (0.5 mg per 
administration) until the total dose reaches 2.0 mg. 
4) Atrioventricular block: paclitaxel should be discontinued. Class I block and 
block of Mobitz Type I will usually disappear spontaneously. Atropine produces 
transient improvement of atrioventricular conduction. For severe bradycardia and 
others (block of Mobitz Type II or complete atrioventricular block), pacing 
therapy should be used. 
5) Marked ventricular ectopy (PVC, non-sustained VT, etc.) and marked 
tachycardia: paclitaxel should be discontinued, and lidocaine should be used. 
Intravenous lidocaine therapy should be started with 1 - 2 mg/kg/min and, if 
effective, followed by drip infusion of 1 - 2 mg/min. 
 
[Hypotension] 
The following therapeutic actions may be taken for hypotension: 
1) Mild: Fluid therapy should be used, if necessary, for keeping blood pressure. 
2) Moderate or severe: Persistent intravenous infusion of dopamine should 
immediately be started. Doses (5 - 15 ∝g/kg/min) should be adjusted according 
to the severity. The infusion should be continued until blood pressure is 
stabilized. If necessary, norepinephrine should be administered. After confirming 
that blood pressure remains stable, the dose of dopamine should be reduced, or 
the use of this drug should be discontinued.

[Interstitial pneumonia] 
The following therapeutic measures may be taken for interstitial pneumonia 
diagnosed with clinical symptoms and diagnostic imaging after failure of 
antibiotics treatment: 
 
It is reported that following treatment is effective: Discontinue the drug therapy, 
and apply corticosteroid pulse therapy (methylprednisolone 1000mg in 5% glucose 
solution or saline solution 200mL for intravenous over 1-hour for consecutive three 
days (1 course).  Repeat 3 courses at maximum with an interval of 1 to 2 week.  
Following prednisolon 40-60 mg/day p.o. with dose reduction every 1 to 2 weeks). 
Consult with doctors who are expert in respiratory disease in time of need.

HEMORRHAGE
Notes: Transfusion in this section refers to pRBC infusion.
For any bleeding with grade 3 or 4 platelets (<50,000), always grade Hemorrhage/bleeding with grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia. Also consider Platelets,
Transfusion: pRBCs, and Transfusion: platelets in addition to grading severity by grading  the site or type of bleeding.
If the site or type of Hemorrhage/bleeding is listed, also use the grading that incorporates the site of bleeding: CNS Hemorrhage/bleeding, Hematuria,
Hematemesis, Hemoptysis, Hemorrhage/bleeding with surgery, Melena/lower GI bleeding, Petechiae/purpura (Hemorrhage/bleeding into skin), Rectal
bleeding/hematochezia, Vaginal bleeding.
If the platelet count is ≥50,000 and the site or type of bleeding is listed, grade the specific site. If the site or type is not listed and the platelet count is
≥50,000, grade Hemorrhage/bleeding without grade 3 or 4 thrombocytopenia and specify the site or type in the OTHER category.

Introduction 
 The purpose of this document is to provide a detailed plan for the final analysis of rollover study of weekly Paclitaxel (BMS-181339) 
in patients with advanced breast cancer (Identification number: CA139-387). 
 Attached materials show the table format to be used in the statistical analysis report. These tables and figures are referenced in the 
analysis section. Each figures and tables show the dataset (Analysis Sets) used for the analysis. 
 
 
 
 
 
3 
Study Objectives 
3.1 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint is the frequency and severity of adverse events (Subjective and objective findings and changes in laboratory 
(test) abnormalities) for the subjects in the study. 
3.2 
Secondary Endpoint 
Tumor response and duration of response. 
4 
Study Overview 
4.1 
Study Design 
This study is an extension study of weekly paclitaxel in subjects participating in the 
 who require continued weekly paclitaxel 
due to lack of alternative treatment, and is an open-label clinical study by enrollment using the central multicenter method. 
The primary endpoint in this study will determine the frequency and severity of adverse events (Subjective and objective findings and 
changes in laboratory (test) abnormalities) in study subjects to evaluate the safety of continued paclitaxel treatment. In addition, the 
Safety Monitoring Board will be established as an advisory body to sponsor and the coordinating investigator to deliberate and report 
the preparation and revision of protocol, actions in the event of serious adverse event, and actions for situations requiring consideration 
of discontinuation of the entire study. 
4.2 
Study Population 
Among patients with advanced/recurrent breast cancer who meet the inclusion criteria and participated in the 
 
, those who are judged 
by the investigator (
) to require continued administration of paclitaxel because there is no appropriate alternative therapy.  
4.3 
Dose, Route, and Duration of Study Drug 
Paclitaxel 100 mg / m2 is intravenously infused for 1 hour after premedication,. The first dose date of paclitaxel is Day 1, and the 
drug is administered at Day 8, 15, 22, 29, 36 (7-day intervals (± 1 day)), and then the drug is withdrawn until Day 49. One course is 49 
days, and in principle, one or more courses are administered. For subjects who do not meet the discontinuation criteria, administration 
should be continued as much as possible within the study period at the discretion of the investigator. 
4.4 
Blinding and Unblinding 
Not applicable. 
5 
Criteria for Evaluation 
5.1 
Efficacy Evaluations 
Tumor response will be assessed using the Breast Cancer Treatment Code (Edited by the Japan Breast Cancer Society). Response 
Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) will be evaluated for reference. 
5.2 
Safety Assessments 
The safety endpoint will be adverse events (Subjective and objective findings and laboratory (test) abnormality), which will be graded 
according to the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 2 (JCOG Version). Final assessment of adverse events will be made by the 
Adjudication Committee for review outside the study site. 
Toxicities not included in CTC will be graded in accordance with the following criteria as "Other" toxicity of the applicable category, 
with specific descriptions. 
 
Grade 0: Normal, normal/within normal limits (WNL), none 
Grade 1: Mild/mild toxicity 
Grade 2: Moderate/moderate toxicity 


 
3
Grade 3: Severe/severe toxicity 
Grade 4: Life-threatening or toxicity leading to inactivity 
Grade 5: Death due to toxicity 
6 
Sample Size Determination 
The number of subjects with this study will be determined by the number of subjects continuing from the preceding 
 
 Currently, in 
Study
, 9 subjects are continuing treatment, and therefore, it is expected that no more than 10 subjects will be enrolled in 
this study. 
7 
Interim Review 
No interim analysis will be performed in this study; however, an interim analysis will be performed if necessary to support the 
application for approval. 
8 
Data Sets Analyzed 
8.1 
Enrolled Subjects 
All subjects who are enroll to the study. 
8.2 
Treated subjects 
Subjects who entered the study and received at least one dose of investigational product. Safety and efficacy analyses will be 
performed. 
9 
Statistical Analysis 
 This chapter is organized as follows. 
9.1: Analysis Consideration 
9.2: General methods 
9.3 : Changes made to Statistical Analysis Described in the Protocol 
9.4-9.7 : Detailed analysis method for analysis items. 
(Presentation formats for each analysis is provided in the attachment.) 
 All analyses will be performed using SAS release 8.02. 
9.1 
Analysis Consideration 
9.1.1 
Subjects and Data Handling 
Handling of subjects and data will be specified separately before data lock as needed. 
9.1.2 
Data conversion 
No variables will be analyzed using converted values. However, this is not applicable to the case where an exploratory post-hoc 
analysis is performed. 
9.1.3 
Adverse Event Coding 
Adverse event terms/names of diseases described in case report form were coded to MedDRA terms to be used for reporting of 
analysis results. The most recent or one previous MedDRA version at the time of analysis will be used. 
9.1.4 
Review of Subgroup 
Subgroup will not be evaluated. 
9.1.5 
Covariate Alignment 
Analyses that would require adjustment by covariate will not be performed. 
9.1.6 
Multicenter Test 
Since the number of subjects per site is expected to be small, no investigation of inter-site differences will be conducted. 
9.1.7 
Multiplicity 
Multiplicity is not applicable because no statistical test will be performed.

General Methods 
Baseline should be the most recent measurement or finding up to the start of the first dose in the parent study. 
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize demographic factors, treatment status, and laboratory data. Categorical variables will 
be summarized using frequency tabulations.  
Adverse events for which the causal relationship is "related", "Probably related" or "possibly related" are defined as events for which 
the relationship with investigational product cannot be ruled out (adverse drug reaction). Events assessed as "not likely relarted" or "not 
related" to the study drug should be assessed as not related to investigational product. The same adverse event may occur more than 
once within a subject's scope as a MedDRA SOC, HLGT, or PT, and will be counted only once in the adverse event summary table. If 
the same adverse event is regarded as a single event, the most abnormal grade among them will be used for summary. Similarly, if 
multiple same adverse events are counted as 1 event, the most abnormal grade among the related events will be used for summary. The 
same handling as above will be applied to the total number of subjects with adverse events. 
For the outcome of adverse events, the final outcome by LLT in MedDRA is adopted as the outcome by PT in the order of priority of 
death > persistent > unknown > recovering > recovering, and the outcome in adverse drug reaction is handled in the same manner among 
related events. 
When frequency tabulations are prepared for adverse events and laboratory (test) abnormalities changes by symptom name, they 
should be presented in ascending order of SOC (HLGT) codes and in descending order of the number of applicable subjects. If the 
number of subjects in the same, display them in ascending order of PT code. 
The target of demographic analysis is data from the preceding study. 
Dosing and efficacy analyses will be summarized, including data from the subject's previous study. 
For the number of display digits to be used in the report, an appropriate number of digits should be selected according to the parameters, 
but rounding should be done as a rounded method unless otherwise specified. Proportion shows the first decimal places.

Study Drug Administration 
In the following summaries, the number of courses plus the number of courses administered in the preceding study will be used. (For 
example, if a subject completed or discontinued 2 courses of the parent study and subsequently entered an extension study, the first 
course of the extension study will be counted as 3 courses.)

Response, Duration of Response 
In the following summary, the date will be specified based on the assessment by the attending physician and the data from the 
preceding study, and the period and cumulative dose will be calculated based on the date. 
Duration of response (Japan Breast Cancer Society) (Table 4.1) 
・Duration of CR response = date of progression - date of CR 
・Duration of PR response = date of progression - date of PR 
・Overall response duration= date of progression - date of first dose 
The date of progression is defined as the earliest date among the date of progression of a lesion, the date of appearance of a new 
lesion, the date of initiation of subsequent treatment, or the date of death based on the evaluation criteria in the General Rules for 
Clinical Practice for Breast Cancer, and the date of the last measurement of a lesion in patients without progression.  
Duration of response (RECIST) (Table 4.2) 
・Duration of complete response = date of progression - date of CR 
・Overall response duration  = date of progression - date of PR 
The date of progression is defined as the earliest date among the date of progression of lesion based on RECIST evaluation 
criteria, the date of appearance of new lesion, the date of initiation of subsequent treatment, or the date of death, and the date of the 
last measurement of lesion in patients without progression.

Safety 
The following summaries are based on events that are new or ongoing in the extension study. 
9.7.1 
Subjective and objective adverse events 
The number of subjects with subjective and objective adverse events will be summarized by SOC and PT. However, summaries by 
outcome will not be performed by SOC but only by PT.

(Table 6.4 a) 
Worst grade of neutrophil count decreased, Nadir, number of days to Nadir, number of days to resolution  
     (Table 6.4 b) 
Nadir (lowest value), number of days to Nadir and number of days to resolution will only be calculated for subjects who achieve 
Grade ≥ 2 in each course. The calculation method is as follows:.  
 Number of days to Nadir: date Nadir was reached - first dose date in each course + 1 
 Recovery date: Between the day of achievement of Nadir and before the start of the next course (Last measurement time point 
including follow-up data in the last course), the first day when the grade has recovered to ≤ 1 and has not 
subsequently worsened to ≥ 2. 
 Number of days to recovery: Recovery date - date Nadir was reached
