Abbreviation: TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
Verbatim descriptions of all adverse events were coded to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities, version 20.1, and classified by system organ class and preferred term. Investigators monitored the occurrence of adverse events for each patient from the time of informed consent through the course of the study. Adverse events may have been reported by a patient, a caregiver, or the investigative site through site personnel open-ended questioning, physical examination, laboratory tests, documentation in medical records, or other means.
TEAEs coded to the preferred term hypersensitivity were based on the sponsor’s established framework for evaluating individual symptoms or symptom constellations occurring on days of infusion.11 The clinical presentation of each of these events was reported as allergic reaction.
