  • All values are n (%).

  • *Possible or probable, as assessed by the investigator or records where relationship is missing.

  • †Based on National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) grade: grade 3 = severe or medically significant, grade 4 = life threatening, grade 5 = death related to AE.

  • AE, adverse event; SAE, severe adverse event; SAF, safety analysis set; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event.
