Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Percentage of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: Up to 31 days
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants experiencing any AE was reported for each arm.
Percentage of Participants With Any Serious AEs (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to 31 days
An SAE was defined as any untoward medical consequence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other important medical event. The percentage of participants with any SAE was reported for each arm.
Percentage of Participants With Any Drug-related AEs
Time Frame: Up to 31 days
A drug-related AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, and considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants with any drug related AEs was reported for each arm.
Percentage of Participants With Any Drug-related SAEs
Time Frame: Up to 31 days
A drug-related SAE was defined any untoward medical consequence that, at any dose, results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or any other important medical event, that is considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants with any drug related SAEs was reported for each arm.
Percentage of Participants With AEs Leading to Discontinuation of Study Intervention
Time Frame: Up to 14 days
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants with AEs leading to discontinuation of study intervention was reported for each arm.
