Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Hide Description Number of participants with any grade adverse events (AEs) including treatment-related AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation of any drug, serious adverse events (SAEs), treatment-related SAEs, and deaths from first dose to 30 days post last dose. An AE is defined as any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a preexisting medical condition in a clinical investigation participant administered study treatment and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Time Frame From first dose to 30 days post last dose (Average of 8 months and a maximum up to 35 months)
