Absolute neutrophil count:≥1,500/μL Platelets:≥100,000/μL Hemoglobin:≥9 g/dL or 5.6 mmol/L Renal function Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min Total bilirubin:≤3×ULN ALT: ≤2.5×ULN 9.Participants with toxicity from prior cancer therapy must have recovered to Grade 1. (A participant with Grade 2 neuropathy or any Grade of alopecia is an exception to this criterion and may qualify for this study.) 10.Must be able to swallow and retain orally administered study treatment. 11.A female participant is eligible if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: •Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP), as defined in Appendix 4.

The Investigator should evaluate the effectiveness of the contraceptive method in relationship to the first dose of study treatment. •A WOCBP must have a negative pregnancy test (highly sensitive urine test or serum test as required by local regulations) within 72 hours before the first dose of study treatment. •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. •Additional requirements for pregnancy testing during and after study treatment are described in Section 8.4.6 of the protocol. •The Investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy. See Appendix 4 for a list of acceptable birth control methods. Information must be captured appropriately within the site’s source documents. 12.Male participants are eligible if they agree to the following during the Treatment Period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment (see Appendix 4 of the protocol for a list of acceptable birth control methods): •Be abstinent from intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR •Must agree to use contraception/barrier as detailed below:Agree to use a male condom (and should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as a condom may break or leak) PLUS •Male participants must refrain from donating sperm for at least 90 days after the last dose of study treatment 13. Must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in the study by providing written informed consent (as described in Appendix 5) of the protocol.

Those conditions should be discussed with the participants before study entry. 16.Participants have high medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder; nonmalignant systemic disease; or active, uncontrolled infection (including COVID-19).

Progression may involve any of the following: objective radiological, histopathological, or symptomatic progression or death. -DRFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first detection of distant metastasis or death by any cause as assessed by Investigator using RECIST v1.1. -Safety and tolerability as measured by the incidence of TEAEs, SAEs, and AESIs TEAEs leading to death, and TEAEs leading to dose modifications, and TEAEs leading to discontinuation will be assessed. Clinically relevant laboratory parameters, vital signs, ECOG performance status and use of concomitant medications will be collected and evaluated as defined in the Statistical Analysis Plan (SAP). -Evaluation of disease-related symptoms that impact participant health-related quality of life measured by change from baseline as assessed using the following instruments: EORTC-QLQ-C30 -Evaluation of patient-reported treatment-related symptoms measured by descriptive data presented using items from the PRO-CTCAE and FACT-GP5
