Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Suicidal Behavior and / or Ideation ("Yes" Response) on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS)Baseline up to Day 4

C-SSRS is a clinician rated assessment of suicidal behavior and / or intent categorized as: Suicidal behavior=a "yes" response to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions (preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide); Suicidal ideation=a "yes" response to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions which includes wish to be dead, and 4 different categories of active suicidal ideation (thought, thought with method, thought with intent, thought with plan and intent).

Number of Participants With TEAE Related to Vital signs, Electrocardiogram (ECG), and Clinical Laboratory TestsFrom start of study drug administration up to follow-up (up to 9 days)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Vital signs included blood pressure, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and body temperature. ECG was analysed as 12-lead ECG. Clinical laboratory test is considered for biochemistry, Hematology and Urinalysis.

Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From start of study drug administration up to follow-up (up to 9 days)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. An AE was considered as treatment-emergent (TEAE) if it had a start date and time on or after the dose of investigational product and no later than 72 hours after dosing, or if it had a start date and time before the date and time of the dose of investigational product, but increased in severity on or after the date and time of the dose of investigational product and no later than 72 hours after dosing.
