Based on full safety data, the SRC determined that the recommended Phase II REQORSA dose will be 0.12mg/kg.

They will recommend if the study continues at the same dose or at a lower dose, or escalates to an increased dose, or that the trial be terminated due to safety concerns.
The Phase II expansion portion intends to enrol nearly 66 patients. Out of the total, 33 patients will be those who previously received treatment with Tagrisso while the remaining with Tagrisso and chemotherapy.
