Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number (Proportion) of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to approximately 2 years

Number (percentage) of patients experiencing at least one treatment-emergent adverse event, defined as those untoward medical events with onset after the first dose of study drug or existing events that worsened after the first dose during the study

Number (Proportion) of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Phase 1b
Cycle 1 (28 days)

Number (percentage) of patients experiencing a DLT during the first cycle (28 days) of study treatment in Phase 1b, defined as an adverse event (AE) or clinically significant abnormal laboratory value that was at least possibly related to study drugs and was not primarily related to disease, disease progression, concomitant medication(s), or intercurrent illness. In addition, to be considered a DLT, the AE had to meet at least one of the following criteria: * Grade 4 anemia unexplained by underlying disease * Grade 4 febrile neutropenia * Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>5 days * Any other Grade 4 hematologic toxicity (thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, febrile neutropenia, anemia) of any duration * Grade 4 or higher tumor lysis syndrome * Grade 3 or higher thrombocytopenia (with or without bleeding) * Any requirement for platelet transfusion * Grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity despite adequate supportive care * Results in a dose hold of \>7 consecutive days

Overall Response Rate
Up to approximately 2 years

Number (percentage) of patients with a best overall complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) according to the Lugano 2014 criteria (Cheson, Bruce D. et al. J Clin Oncology 2014;32(27):3059-68), where CR included complete metabolic response (no/minimal fluorodeoxyglucose \[FDG\] uptake) and radiologic response (target lesions regress to ≤1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of a lesion) and no new lesions, and PR included partial metabolic response (reduced FDG uptake compared with baseline) or radiologic response (target lesions ≤ 50% decrease in the sum of the product of perpendicular diameters of up to 6 target measurable nodes and extranodal sites)
