Platelet count >=75 * 10^9/L (without prior platelet transfusion within 7 days before the laboratory test) in participants in whom less than (<) 50 percent (%) of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells; platelet count >=50 * 10^9/L (without prior platelet transfusion within 7 days before the laboratory test) in participants in whom >=50% of bone marrow nucleated cells are plasma cells;
4. Lymphocyte count >=0.3 * 10^9/L;
5. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less than or equal to (<=)3 * upper limit of normal (ULN);
6. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <=3 * ULN;
