Cycle 1 (21 days) of treatment
Phase Ib: Safety and Tolerance	An AE was any untoward medical occurrence after clinical study subjects receive study drug. An SAE was any event that meets any the following criteria: death, life-threatening; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation, persistent or significant disability/incapacity;congenital malformation/birth defects and significant medical events. AE and SAE were graded by CTCAE version 5.0 by severity, from Grade 1 mild to Grade 5 death related AE.	Safety and tolerance assessments continued for the duration of treatment. AEs and SAEs will be collected from time of signature of main informed consent, throughout the treatment period and including the follow-up period, up to approximate 22 months.
