|

- Number of Participants With Improved, Stable, or Worsened Change In Chromogranin A (CgA) Biomarker Levels From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months ]The mean change from baseline in chromogranin A (CgA) biomarker level is considered improved if a 25% reduction occurs and worsened if the mean change from baseline is increased by 25%.
- Number of Participants With Improved, Stable, or Worsened Change In 5-hydroxyindoleacetic Acid (5-HIAA) Biomarker Levels From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months ]The mean change from baseline in 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) biomarker level is considered improved if a 25% reduction occurs and worsened if the mean change from baseline is increased by 25%.
- Number of Participants With Improved, Stable, or Worsened Change In Serotonin Biomarker Levels From Baseline [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months ]The mean change from baseline in serotonin biomarker level is considered improved if a 25% reduction occurs and worsened if the mean change from baseline is increased by 25%.
- Number of Participants With Partial Response (PR), Progressive Disease (PD), or Stable Disease (SD) Based on RECIST 1.1 [ Time Frame: Baseline and 4 months ]The objective response rate (complete response, partial response, progressive disease, or stable disease) was determined by the investigator assessment of the participant's CT or MRI using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST 1.1) for target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is when there is at least 30% decrease in sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions. Progressive Disease (PD) is when there is at least 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of the target lesions, as well as an absolute increase of at least 5 mm (including appearance of new lesions). Stable Disease (SD) is when there neither a PR nor PD is noted.
