bEvents of interest were reviewed and classified manually based on the diagnosis or possible aetiology. Consequently, the reported event type may not be a MedDRA® PT. In such cases, the corresponding MedDRA® PT (ESM 3) is reported between brackets

cOne report could contain more than one adverse event reported by the same individual

dTime to onset was not available for all reports

eAssessed as immediate- or delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction based on the event description and considering the time to onset
