Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is clinical safety. Therefore, the main study parameter will be newly developed, or worsening of, existing AEs (see section 8.2 for definitions). A full, per patient, description of each AE will be recorded including the nature, date and time of onset, date or resolution, determination of seriousness, severity, action taken, outcome and causality to study treatment. Specific AEs of interest (see section 8.2.4 for definition) will be filed in a similar manner as AEs using separate scoring forms. If indicated, tissue vigilance will be reported to the Transfusion Reaction in Patients (TRIP) National Hemovigilance Office. | — |
