| Percentage of Subjects Reporting Clinically Significant Adverse Events - Medically-attended Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest | Week 56 | The percentage of participants with Medically-attended adverse events (MAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). MAEs are Adverse events (AEs) for which a subject sought medical attention at a doctor's office, clinic or study site, or emergency room, or was hospitalized. SAEs are AEs that met the definition of Serious per FDA regulations. Immune-mediated AESIs are AEs that were confirmed to be autoimmune in etiology. |

Outcome results
Percentage of Subjects Reporting Clinically Significant Adverse Events - Medically-attended Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest
The percentage of participants with Medically-attended adverse events (MAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), and immune-mediated Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). MAEs are Adverse events (AEs) for which a subject sought medical attention at a doctor's office, clinic or study site, or emergency room, or was hospitalized. SAEs are AEs that met the definition of Serious per FDA regulations. Immune-mediated AESIs are AEs that were confirmed to be autoimmune in etiology.
