An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product at any dose that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Therefore, an AE can be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational product, whether or not considered related to the investigational product.
This definition includes inter-current illnesses or injuries and exacerbation of pre-existing conditions.

An MAE is defined as an adverse event that leads to an unscheduled visit to a healthcare practitioner.
