| Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) | Baseline up to 116 Weeks | Adverse event = any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered study medication regardless of causality including abnormal test findings, clinically significant signs/symptoms, changes in physical examination findings, hypersensitivity, progression/worsening of underlying disease, and exposure in utero.

Outcome results
Number of Subjects With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Adverse event = any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered study medication regardless of causality including abnormal test findings, clinically significant signs/symptoms, changes in physical examination findings, hypersensitivity, progression/worsening of underlying disease, and exposure in utero. Serious adverse event = any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, or resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly/birth defect.
Time frame: Baseline up to 116 Weeks
Population: Safety population: all subjects assumed to have taken at least one dose of study medication. Non-serious adverse events were reported up to 7 days after the last dose of study medication. Serious adverse events were reported up to 28 days after the last dose of study medication.
