MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)Day 1 plus 30 daysTEAEs are events that meet one of the following criteria: any AEs with onset date of on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug or any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment Emergent Laboratory AbnormalitiesDay 1 plus 30 daysTreatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities were defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline. These were graded as Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate, Grade 3: severe, Grade 4: life-threatening. The most severe graded abnormality from all tests was counted for each participant.
