The serious adverse events that occurred in the combined AK002 group were moderate hypoxia and moderate chest pain (classified as a serious adverse event because the patient was hospitalized) in 1 patient, abdominal pain in 1 patient, dehydration in 1 patient, and anemia and a grade 4 infusion-related reaction in 1 patient. The only serious adverse event that was deemed to be related to AK002 was the infusion-related reaction.
The serious adverse events that occurred in the placebo group were mild dehydration in 1 patient (classified as a serious adverse event because the patient was hospitalized), severe anemia in 1 patient, and a change in mental status in 1 patient.
Infusion-related reactions included flushing, a feeling of warmth, headache, nausea, or dizziness. Infusion-related reactions predominantly occurred on the first or second infusions, in which patients in both AK002 groups received identical doses, and the number of infusion-related reactions was numerically higher in the low-dose group (Table S10).
