Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants with Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 18 MonthsAn AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant including unfavorable and unintended signs, symptoms or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship to this treatment. AEs include illnesses with onset during the trial, or exacerbations of pre-existing illnesses. Exacerbation of pre existing illness is defined as a significant increase in the severity of the illness as compared to the start of the trial and should be considered when a participant requires new or additional treatment for that illness.
