4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score lesser than equal to (≤)2.
5. Life expectancy ≥12 months per Investigator assessment.
6.

7. Anemia, defined as:

   1. Having received ≥6 units of RBC transfusion for Hgb ≤8.5 g/dL in the 12 weeks prior to the planned C1D1, including ≥1 unit of RBC transfusion in the 28 days prior to C1D1; or
   2. Having ≥3 evaluable Hgb measurements at less than (<)10.0 g/dL including ≥1 evaluable Hgb measurement assessed 8 to 13 weeks prior to C1D1. Participants receiving RBC transfusions but not meeting criterion "a." may enroll under criterion "b." following the below parameters:
