Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Subjects Prematurely Discontinuing Due to a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 96 Weeks)
Time Frame: During the treatment period (through Week 96)
A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Percentage of Subjects Prematurely Discontinuing Due to a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 96 Weeks)
Time Frame: During the treatment period (through Week 96)
A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Number of Subjects Reporting at Least 1 Serious Adverse Event (SAE) During the Treatment Period (Maximum 96 Weeks)
Time Frame: During the treatment period (through Week 96)
A SAE is a treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) that the investigator classifies as serious. This includes: * Death * Life-threatening * Significant or persistent disability/incapacity * Congenital anomaly/birth defect (including that occurring in a fetus) * Important medical event that, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent 1 of the other outcomes listed in the definition of serious * Initial inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization
