Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of H3B-6545 and PalbociclibCycle 1 (Cycle length = 28 Days)The MTD was defined as the highest dose at which no more than 1 of 6 participants experienced a Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) in the dose cohort. DLT was graded as per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. DLTs were defined as the following events that occurred in Cycle 1, for which a causal relationship with the study drug could not be ruled out: febrile neutropenia; Grade 4 neutropenia that was not resolved within 7 days; Grade 4 thrombocytopenia; Grade 3 thrombocytopenia lasting greater than (\>) 7 days or associated with clinically significant bleeding; Grade 4 vomiting and diarrhea; Grade 3 vomiting and diarrhea lasting \> 72 hours despite treatment; Grade 4 electrolyte abnormality or Grade 3 abnormality lasting \> 24 hours; Grade 3 or 4 serum creatinine or bilirubin increase; Grade 4 biochemistry or Grade 3 lasting \> 7 days; Grade 4 or Grade 3 or intolerable grade 2 toxicities of any non-hematologic adverse event.
