AE, adverse event; PT, preferred term; SAF, safety analysis set; SOC, system organ class.
“n” represents the number of patients, % is the percentage of patients in each category, and E represents the number of drug-related AEs. AEs were defined as AEs that started or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study medication. MedDRA Version 24.0 was used to code AEs. All P-values were calculated by chi-squared test.
