What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Time Frame: Up to Day 85

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Any AE occurring at or after the initial administration of study intervention through Day 85 is considered to be treatment-emergent. Severity will be assessed based on the following categories: a) Mild: Awareness of symptoms that are easily tolerated, causing minimal discomfort and not interfering with everyday activities, b) Moderate: Sufficient discomfort is present to cause interference with normal activity and c) Severe: Extreme distress, causing significant impairment of functioning or incapacitation. Prevents normal everyday activities.
