MeasureTime frameDescription
Part 1: Number of Participants With Study-Drug Related Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)From Cycle 1 Day 1 to Cycle 2 Day 14; approximately 28 daysThe following AEs occurred during the first 2 cycles of treatment, unless due to disease progression or to a cause obviously unrelated to study drug, were considered DLTs: * Grade 4 neutropenia for 7 or more consecutive days. * Grade 3 to 4 neutropenia complicated by fever (temperature \>=38.5 degree Celsius on more than 1 occasion) or microbiologically or radiographically documented infection. * Grade \>=3 thrombocytopenia associated with clinically significant bleeding requiring clinical intervention. * Grade 4 non-hematologic AE. * Grade \>=3 keratopathy. In addition, any other AE that the Investigators and sponsor deemed to be dose limiting, regardless of its grade, was also considered as DLT.

The CR was defined as disappearance of all target lesions. The PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 23 investigational sites in 6 countries. A total of 45 participants were screened from 16-Nov-2021 to 17-Feb-2023 of which 10 were screen failures due to not meeting eligibility criteria. The study was terminated as per Sponsor decision and not related to any safety concern.

Pre-assignment details

A total of 35 participants were enrolled in this study. All participants received the same dose in this single-group, single arm study as pre-specified in the protocol. Note: Reason for not completed = Reason for permanent full study intervention discontinuation.
