Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (10)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment: Arms A1, A2, A3 and B
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs was defined as any new or worsening AE occurring at or after first dose of study treatment up to 30 days after last dose or prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. All TEAEs including serious and non-serious events were reported in this outcome measure.
From start of treatment (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 12 months)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) Leading to Discontinuation of Treatment: Monotherapy Arm
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs was defined as any new or worsening AE occurring at or after first dose of study treatment up to 30 days after last dose or prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. All TEAEs included serious and non-serious events were reported in this outcome measure.
From start of monotherapy (post protocol amendment 1, dated 08 June 2023) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 6 months)
Number of Participants With Grade 3 or Higher TEAEs Based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version (v) 5.0: Arms A1, A2, A3 and B
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. TEAEs was defined as any new or worsening AE occurring at or after first dose of study treatment up to 30 days after last dose or prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first. TEAEs were graded according to NCI-CTCAE v5.0 as Grade 1- Mild; Grade 2- Moderate; Grade 3- Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; Grade 4- Life-threatening consequences and Grade 5- Death related to AE. Number of participants with grade 3 or higher TEAEs (including serious and non-serious events) were reported in this outcome measure.
From start of treatment (Day 1) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 12 months)

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs): Arms A1, A2, A3 and B
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the intervention. A serious AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product, or was medically important. TESAEs was defined as SAEs occurring at or after first dose of study treatment up to 30 days after last dose or prior to start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first.

From start of monotherapy (post protocol amendment 1, dated 08 June 2023) up to 30 days after last dose of study drug or start of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever occurred first (up to 6 months)
Number of Participants With Clinical Laboratory Abnormalities: Hematology Parameters: Arms A1, A2, A3 and B
Number of participants with clinical abnormalities in hematology laboratory parameters were reported. Hematology parameters included: Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), hemoglobin, neutrophil count, white blood cell (WBC) count, lymphocyte count, platelet count and prothrombin international normalized ratio (INR). Abnormality criteria was assessed as per NCI CTCAE v5.0 grading, where Grade 1 = mild; Grade 2 = moderate; Grade 3 = severe; Grade 4 = life-threatening. Grade 0 was assigned when the laboratory value was not assigned a Grade 1 or higher. Only those categories in which at least 1 participant had data were reported.
