aPooled rate of preferred terms thrombocytopenia and platelet count decreased

bPooled rate of preferred terms neutropenia and neutrophil count decreased

cPooled rate of anemia and red blood cell analyses

dPooled rate of pneumonia, lung infection, and bronchitis

ePooled rate of eight preferred terms in the high-level terms of liver function analyses, tissue enzyme analyses, hepatic enzyme and function abnormalities, protein metabolism disorders, and peritoneal and retroperitoneal disorders; grade 3 events included 1 reversible elevation of alanine aminotransferase in a non-active hepatitis B-carrying patient, 1 hypoalbuminemia reported concurrently with progressive disease (and with no other liver function test abnormalities), and 1 transient increase in blood alkaline phosphatase in the context of development of complete response; no events were classed as serious adverse events or led to discontinuation

fPooled rate of 19 rash-related preferred terms

gModified high-level term of peripheral neuropathies not elsewhere classified

hCardiac arrhythmias standardized MedDRA query (SMQ)

iModified cardiac failure SMQ

jModified vascular hypotensive disorder high-level term and vascular test high-level term

kAcute renal failure SMQ
