Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AE)
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, whether associated with study drug or not, that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an important medical event requiring medical or surgical intervention to prevent serious outcome.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Clinical Laboratory Parameters
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months

Clinical laboratory parameters included tests of hematology and chemistry. The investigator will assess the results for clinical significance.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Vital Sign Parameters
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months

Vital sign parameters included body temperature, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and respiratory rate. The investigator will assess the results for clinical significance.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline in Electrocardiograms (ECG)
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months

A standard 12-lead ECG will be performed. The investigator will assess the results for clinical significance.

Secondary Endpoints

Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months
Number of Participants Achieving VGPR or Better
Up to Approximately 69.5 Months
Duration of Response (DOR) in Participants who Achieved PR or VGPR or CR or sCR
