    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study drug.


Secondary Outcome Measures :

  10. Complete Remission (CR) Rate [ Time Frame: Measured from Cycle 1 Day 1 as long as the subject continues to benefit, or until the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, death, exercise of investigator discretion, or withdrawal of consent, and for an anticipated maximum duration of 24 months. ]
    Proportion of subjects who achieved a complete remission.

  11.
