b

One patient did not have a baseline measurement; 35 patients were missing one or more post‐baseline measurement.

c

Overall incidence of treatment‐induced ADAs (with any titre) and treatment‐boosted ADAs (log 2‐expressed titre of pre‐existing ADA level boosted by at least 2).

d

Overall incidence of treatment‐induced ADAs (with log 2‐expressed titre of at least 2) and treatment‐boosted ADAs (log 2‐expressed titre of pre‐existing ADA level boosted by at least 2).

e
