Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; OLEx, open‐label extension; TEAE, treatment‐emergent adverse event.

A TEAE is defined as an AE with an onset date, or a worsening in severity from baseline, on or after the first dose of study drug up to 30 days following study‐ drug discontinuation. A patient with ≥2 AEs in the same system organ class or with the same preferred term is counted only once for that system organ class or preferred term.
