Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Dose limiting toxicity (DLT)	DLTs are assessed according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 during the first cycle and defined as occurrence of any of the toxicities in DLT definition if judged by the investigator to be possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug administration.	Up to 14 days after the first dose of GNC-039
Primary	Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administrated dose (MAD)	In the dose increment stage, the highest dose whose estimated DLT rate is closest to the target DLT rate but does not exceed the upper bound of the equivalent interval of DLT rate is selected as MTD.
