a

List the total incidence.

b

Includes prolonged QT, and prolonged corrected QT, intervals.

c

Includes decreased white blood cells count and leukopenia.

d

Includes decreased neutrophil percentage or count and neutropenia.

e

Includes increased platelet count and thrombocytosis.

The AE incidence in bold is calculated as SOC and is the sum of the incidence of AE for the corresponding PT.
