PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: End of Treatment, Day 15 and Day 29

Population: Clinical per protocol set consisted of all subjects who received at least one dose of the study drug, have no significant violation of protocol, and underwent prescribed evaluations during the observation period. No imputation was used for missing data. "n " in the measured values means total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate.

Response rate was calculated from the following formula, "the number of participants assessed as effective" over "total participants excluding ones assessed as indeterminate" multiplied by 100.
