Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence and Number of Adverse Events (AEs) | up to 29 weeks | An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participants or clinical trial participants administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The incidence and number of participants who experience an AE will be reported. |
