Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
Time Frame: First dose date up to Week 24 plus 30 days
|
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as, any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than 30 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug or any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.
Participants were assessed for AEs according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
|
First dose date up to Week 24 plus 30 days
|
Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Laboratory Abnormalities
Time Frame: First dose date up to 24 weeks plus 30 days
|
Treatment-emergent laboratory abnormalities, defined as values that increase at least one toxicity grade from baseline at any time post-baseline up to and including the date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days, were summarized by treatment group.
Graded laboratory abnormalities were defined using the grading scheme in the CTCAE 5.0.
|
First dose date up to 24 weeks plus 30 days
