- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the study From Entry Visit up to the Safety Visit (up to 3 years) An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory finding) in study participants, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medicinal product (IMP).
Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) leading to discontinuation of investigational medicinal product (IMP) during the study From Entry Visit up to the Safety Visit (up to 3 years) An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory finding) in study participants, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medicinal product (IMP).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) during the study From Entry Visit up to the Safety Visit (up to 3 years) A Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose:
* Results in death
* Is life-threatening
* Requires in patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization
* Is a congenital anomaly or birth defect
* Results in permanent or significant disability/incapacity
* Other important medical events which based on medical or scientific judgement may jeopardize the patients, or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the aboveIncidence of IMP related TEAEs during the study From Entry Visit up to the Safety Visit (up to 3 years) An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, unintended disease or injury, or untoward clinical signs (including abnormal laboratory finding) in study participants, users, or other persons, whether or not related to the investigational medicinal product (IMP).
