An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
A serious AE is any AE that is fatal, life-threatening, requires or prolongs inpatient hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect in a neonate/infant born to a mother exposed to study drug, or is a significant medical event in the investigator's judgment.
