a

Dilated cardiomyopathy on treatment day 72, considered unrelated to study treatment by the investigator. This single cardiac event is reported here as an SAE and a grade 3‐4 AE under the preferred term of “congestive cardiomyopathy”.

b

None were considered related to study treatment by the investigator.

c

Congestive cardiomyopathy (grade 4) plus gastrointestinal infection (grade 3; n = 1); somnolence (grade 3; n = 1); and pneumonia (grade 3; n = 1)—all unrelated to treatment. Treatment‐related anemia (grade 3; n = 1).

d

All listed events were of grade 3 intensity.
