The primary objective of the study is to assess safety and toxicity profile in male and female patients in terms of dose reduction. The secondary objectives are to assess sex and gender difference in: the number and the incidence of adverse events; response rate according to RECIST criteria 1.1; progression free survival, overall survival and duration of response.
