Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) | Up to 53 weeks | Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug was considered an adverse event (AE), without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Treatment-emergent adverse events: those which occurred or worsened after baseline. An AE resulting in any of the following outcomes, was considered to be a serious adverse event: death; lifethreatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. |
