Brief summary

The percentage of subjects who experience at least 1 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) or serious adverse events (SAE), The percentage of subjects who discontinue the study drug due to pulmonary edema, severe thrombocytopenia and/or major bleeding according to the definition by Shulman et al (56)

Detailed description
