NOTE: N: count of patients; PCSA: Potentially Clinically Significant Abnormality (version 2.2, December 2004); LLN/ULN: Lower/Upper Limit of Normality. For hemoglobin, baseline values <LLN or >ULN are counted normal; for eosinophils, values <LLN are counted as normal. For ALT, AST, ALP, Total Bilirubin, GGT, CPK, baseline values <LLN are counted normal
