Participants with grade 3 or higher were reported.

    4. Part A: Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of VX-984 in Combination With Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (PLD) [Up to Cycle 1 Day 28 (each cycle is 28 days)]

      The MTD was defined as the combination dose associated with the highest probability that Dose limiting toxicity (DLT) events will occur in 16.6 percent to less than 33.3 percent participants as the combination dose that not exceeded the overdose criterion (more than 25 percent probability that DLT events occurred less than or equal to (>=) 33 percent of participants. DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 4.0.

    5. Part A: Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs [Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to 53.1 weeks]

      Vital signs assessment included blood pressure, pulse rate and body temperature. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator. Number of participants with clinical significant abnormalities in vital Signs reported here.

    6. Part A: Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities Echocardiograms [Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to 53.1 weeks]

      Echocardiogram is a graphic outline of the heart's movement. Clinical significance was determined by the investigator. Number of participants with clinical significant abnormalities in Echocardiograms reported here.

    7. Part A: Number of Participants With Clinical Significant Abnormalities in Electrocardiogram(ECG) Parameters [Baseline up to 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, assessed up to 53.1 weeks]

    8. Part A: Number of Participants With Best Overall Response Evaluated by Response Criteria Evaluation (RECIST 1.1) [Up to 2 years]

      The best overall response was defined as the number of participants who had achieved complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as the best overall response according to radiological assessments as adjudicated by the IRC from randomization until the first occurrence of progressive disease (PD). CR: Complete Response (CR) defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. Partial response (PR) defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum diameters. PD defined as an increase of at least 20% in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum of the diameters of target lesions recorded since treatment started.
