Notes: A patient with multiple AEs was counted only once in the “at least one event” row. At each level of summarization, a patient with multiple AEs within SOC/PT was counted only once. SOCs were presented alphabetically; PTs were sorted within the primary SOC by descending frequency. Percentages were based on the number of patients in the safety analysis set.

Abbreviations: AE, adverse event; E, the total number of events in the safety analysis set; PT, preferred term; SOC, system organ class.
