*

TEAEs with a frequency ≥2% for Grade ≥3 adverse events. TEAEs are classified based on the frequency of grade ≥3 TEAEs.

p=0.16. Significance of specific hematological and nonhematological TEAEs was not assessed as analyses would be underpowered due to the small number of events in each group. TEAE: treatment-emergent adverse events.
