Grade 5 events =death. Treatment-emergent events are events between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (up to Cycle 18) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Number of participants with AEs of any of the Grade 3 or above (Grade 4, 5) were reported.

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 were events between first dose of study drug and up to end of study (up to Cycle 18) that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state.
