Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
up to 48 weeks

Number of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 are summarized by cohort. Incidence is defined as the number of participants with TEAEs in relation to the total number of participants in the cohort. TEAEs are defined as any AEs with an onset date of on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug.

Clinical Assessments Including But Not Limited to Laboratory Test Results
up to 48 weeks

Number of participants with graded hematology, coagulation, chemistry abnormalities, and clinically significant abnormalities in vital signs and ECGs

Secondary Endpoints

PK: Maximum Plasma Concentration
Maximum plasma concentrations were calculated based on all above results for Day 1 and Day 29 (Week 4).
PK: Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration
Time to Cmax were calculated based on all above results for Day 1 and Day 29 (Week 4).
PK: Area Under the Plasma Concentration Versus Time Curve to Last Measurable Timepoint
