High-level clinician-reported adverse events are defined as CTCAE grade 3 or 4. High-level patient-reported adverse events are defined as PRO-CTCAE scores for severity items as severe or very severe; for frequency items as frequently or almost constantly; and for interference items as quite a bit or very much.
