All AEs were classified as grade 1 or grade 2. Most AEs (26 patients) occurred in the first 7 days, although 3 patients reported AEs on day 22 or later (nasopharyngitis, ligament sprain, oral herpes; none were considered to be study drug related).Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; Max, maximum; Min, minimum; NR, not recorded.

aDuration of AE (days) = (date of outcome) − (date of onset) + 1. If the AE did not resolve or was not resolving until the day of outcome assessment, duration of the AE is defined as NR.
