Note: Percentages are based on the number of patients in the analysis set by treatment group

Note: Patients with multiple events within a category are counted only once for that category

Note: Numbers within TEAE of special interest are not mutually exclusive

aTEAEs are defined as any adverse event that started or worsened in severity on or after the date of randomization

bTEAEs with a missing severity have been classified as severe

cA related TEAE is defined as a TEAE with a relationship of possibly related, probably related or definitely related. TEAEs with a missing relationship have been classified as related

dEvidence of RBC haemolysis is defined by 2 of the following three findings: Anaemia that is not due to another obvious cause; Increased reticulocyte count that is not explained by an obvious cause; and Signs of RBC destruction, such as increased lactate dehydrogenase, low haptoglobin <25 mg/dL, and increased unconjugated bilirubin

Abbreviations: ALT Alanine transaminase, AST Aspartate transaminase, N Number of patients in analysis set, n Number of patients, RBC Red blood cell, SoC Standard of Care, TBL Total bilirubin, TEAE Treatment-Emergent Adverse Event, ULN Upper limit of normal
