SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or deemed medically significant for any other reason. A treatment emergent AE was defined as an event that emerged during the study that was absent before administration of investigational product, or worsened relative to the pre-administration state. AEs reported during this time period included both SAEs and newly diagnosed chronic medical disorders (NDCMD).
