Notes: MedDRA version 16.1. Data are n (%) in the safety analysis set. A notably lower number of AEs were reported in the baseline period (21%) compared with the randomized period (~71%) due to a baseline period of 3 weeks (randomized period was 52 weeks). Patients may have had more than one AE. n, number of patients with an event; %, percentage of patients with at least one event based on N.

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; Cic, ciclesonide.
