As per govorchin's request, I am re-posting her post about this topic from the other board
A participant can advance to the next cycle assuming they tolerate the drug and perceive a benefit (stable disease or improvement) if scans are performed.

dear andrew,
in a previous email i asked what was needed for a participant to advance to the next cycle. i see some criteria on the nci trial page. you once told me that a participant had to RETRIEVE (emphasis mine) a benefit. does the word retrieve have any added significance? does the participant go on to the next cycle if they maintain the required blood counts and don't have serious vomiting and diarhea? or do they have to show that something positive has happened in regards to tumor growth even if it only means slowing down?
or something else?
ps now we have THE ANSWER. stable desease or improvement
mri scans are performed at 2 months. cohort 1 is in cycle 3.
