Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The presence or absence of CAA through week 4 after enrollment CAA is defined as Z score >= 2.5.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy secondary endpoints 1) The presence or absence of CAA through week 4 after enrollment CAA is defined as Z score >= 3.0 2) The maximum Z score (continuous variable) within 4 weeks after registration 3) Incidence of patients with CAA at each assessment time point CAA is defined separately using two thresholds: Z score >= 2.5, Z score >= 3.0 4) Maximum Z score (continuous value) at each assessment point 5) Incidence of CAA in patients with the following factors a.-d. within 4 weeks after registration CAA is defined separately using two thresholds: Z score >= 2.5, Z score >= 3.0 6) Association between Z score (continuous variable) up to 4 weeks after registration, based on the following factors a.-d. a. Hematocrit b. Total bilirubin c. Blood cytokine/chemokine levels d. Blood myl9 levels Safety secondary endpoints Frequency of occurrence of adverse events
