aIg, Immunoglobulin; n, Number of patients with at least one infection with analyte measurement in that category; N, Number of patients with analyte measurement in that category; RCT, Randomized control trial. For patients assigned to receive tabalumab in the first or second randomized controlled trial (RCT1 or RCT2, respectively) pretabalumab baseline data were collected at week 0 of RCT1 or RCT2. For patients assigned to receive placebo in RCT1 or RCT2, pretabalumab baseline data were collected either before receiving an optional 80-mg tabalumab rescue dose at week 16 in RCT1 or at the time of open-label extension study entry.
