a

Myelosuppression events include anemia, hemoglobin decreased, neutropenia, neutrophil count decreased, thrombocytopenia, and platelet count decreased (includes unpublished results).

b

Defined as from start to stop of event with no grade change; any change in grade represents a new event.

c

Concurrent medications used for management of ALT and/or AST elevations included essential phospholipids, ursodiol, steroids, S-adenosylmethionine, milk thistle extract, and glycyrrhizic acid. Patients may have received ≥1 medication.

d

Two patients received transfusion(s) and 33 patients received growth factor(s).

e

Patients could report multiple TEAEs as reasons for discontinuation of treatment.

f

Includes patients with no rechallenge or unsuccessful rechallenge following dose interruption, as well as those who discontinued treatment because of an event without dose interruption.
