Population: The PK analysis set included all participants who completed the trial with adequate trial medication compliance, without any relevant protocol violations with respect to factors likely to affect the comparability of PK results.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

An Adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. TEAEs included both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.

Time frame: Baseline up to Day 72

Population: The safety population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of the trial treatment.
