Safety Population: Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious TEAEs
An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in the form of signs, symptoms, abnormal laboratory findings, or diseases that emerges or worsens relative to baseline during a clinical study with an Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP), regardless of causal relationship and even if no IMP has been administered. Serious AE (SAE): Any AE that resulted in death; was life threatening; resulted in persistent/significant disability/incapacity; resulted in/prolonged an existing in-patient hospitalization; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or was a medically important condition. The term TEAE is defined as AEs starting or worsening after the first intake of the study drug. Number of participants with TEAEs included participants with both non-serious TEAEs and serious TEAEs.
