Data are n (%).
Death due to ventricular arrhythmia occurred within the safety reporting period per protocol, ie, up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Two other deaths occurred outside of the safety window reporting period: one in a patient who was clinically improving from pneumonitis and had an iatrogenic pneumothorax (69 days after the last treatment) and one in a patient with panhypopituitarism with cortisol deficiency and adrenal crisis (87 days after the last treatment).
