Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants with Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Up to 6 months.

Safety will be evaluated by the incidence of adverse events (AEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), grade 3 and 4 adverse events, adverse events of all grades, and adverse events leading to the discontinuation of study medication. Adverse events will be graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0. Safety outcomes will be analyzed using descriptive analyses, including the number and percentage of participants with AEs, SAEs, deaths, adverse events leading to treatment discontinuation, and adverse events by severity and relatedness. Adverse events will be summarized by system organ class and preferred term using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Clinically significant changes in vital signs and clinical laboratory results will be summarized descriptively, and shift tables will be provided showing change in CTCAE grade from baseline to worst post-baseline grade.
