Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Baseline up to 30 days after Week 25 dose

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 30 days after Week 25 dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax)Predose, 4 hours [hrs] postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12
Average Serum Concentration at Steady State (Cavg,ss)Predose, 4 hrs postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12

Average plasma concentration at steady state (Cavg,ss) = AUCtau divided by dosing interval (1 week). AUCtau is the area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) at steady state from time zero (pre-dose) to end of dosing interval (tau), here dosing interval is 1 week.

Serum Decay Half-Life (t1/2)Predose, 4 hrs postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12

Serum decay half-life is the time measured for the serum concentration to decrease by one half.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax)Predose, 4 hrs postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12
Area Under the Curve From Time Zero to End of Dosing Interval (AUCtau)Predose, 4 hrs postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12

AUCtau is the area under the serum concentration time curve (AUC) at steady state from time zero (pre-dose) to end of dosing interval (tau), here dosing interval is 1 week.

Apparent Systemic Clearance (CL/F)Predose, 4 hrs postdose, 72 hrs postdose on Day 3 of Week 0 and 25; Predose on Day 7 (Week 1), Week 10, 14, 16, 18, 22, 26, 30; Predose and 4 hrs postdose on Week 12

Clearance (CL) of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after subcutaneous dose (apparent systemic clearance) is influenced by the fraction (F) of the dose absorbed. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood. Steady-state apparent systemic clearance (CL/F) was calculated as dose/AUC tau.
