Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events (TEAEs)Up to approximately 28 weeks

An adverse event (AE) was any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the study or use of investigational drug product, whether or not the AE was considered related to the investigational drug product. An AE was to be regarded as a TEAE if it was present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug and subsequently worsened or was not present prior to receiving the first dose of Study Drug but subsequently appeared.
