MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Adverse EventsFrom first dose to 100 days post last dose (Approximately up to 14 Months)An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
Number of Participants With Serious Adverse EventsFrom first dose to 100 days post last dose (Approximately up to 14 Months)A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose: * Results in death. * Is life-threatening (defined as an event in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe). * Requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization.

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (such as an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment.
