An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a subject which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment.
An AE was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product.
A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect or was otherwise considered medically important.
The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug.

Number of subjects with clinically significant change from baseline in vital signs, ECG and laboratory parameters were reported.
Clinical Significance was decided by the investigator.
Vital signs included oral body temperature, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.
