- o If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
- If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
- Female participants of child-bearing potential (as assigned at birth) are not permitted to use hormonal contraceptive methods alone as a highly effective method of contraception and must use an additional non-hormonal highly effective method of contraception (with a failure rate of < 1% per year)during the intervention period and for 14 months (for females) after the last dose of study intervention (or longer if required by institutional guidelines)
- Female participants of child-bearing potential (as assigned at birth) must also agree not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purpose of reproduction for the same period.
- If needed, these participants should be advised to seek advice about egg donation and cryopreservation of germ cells before treatment.
- Female participants (as assigned at birth) are deemed to be without child-bearing potential if they meet one of the following criteria:
- Postmenopausal for at least 1 year before the screening visit
- Permanently sterile (undergone a hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy or bilateral oophorectomy) with surgery at least 1 month before the first dose of study drug or confirmed by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) test > 40 mIU/mL and estradiol < 40 pg/mL (<140 pmol/L)
- Male participants (as assigned at birth) will be required to always use a latex or other synthetic condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral) with a female of childbearing potential, even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy or if the partner is pregnant or breastfeeding.

- Male participants (as assigned at birth) with a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to remain abstinent from sexual activity or use a male condom during any sexual activity (eg, vaginal, anal, oral), even if the participant has undergone a successful vasectomy, during the intervention period and for at least 11 months after the last dose of study intervention
- Breastfeeding partners of male participants (as assigned at birth) should be advised to consult their health care provider about using appropriate highly effective contraception during the time the male participant is required to use condoms
- Recovery from the adverse effects of prior therapy at the time of enrollment to baseline or ≤ Grade 1 (excluding alopecia, peripheral neuropathy, and parameters superseded by other eligibility criteria [eg, hematology parameters]).

Measured: 2 years
