- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Response Rate approximately 6 months after the enrolled of the last participant and an updated analysis will be conducted at approximately 8 to 12 months. rate of participants who achieve a PR or better (PR+VGPR+CR+sCR) according to IMWG response criteria during the treatment.
