Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to day 2 (Period 3)]

    Intensity was determined by the Investigator. For symptomatic Adverse Events (AEs) the following definitions were applied. Mild = AE did not limit usual activities; subject may have experienced slight discomfort. Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities; subject may have experienced significant discomfort. Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may have experienced intolerable discomfort/pain. Relationship to Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Unlikely = Slight, but remote, chance that AE was caused by IMP. Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by IMP. Probable = Most likely that AE was caused by IMP.

Title Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Description Intensity was determined by the Investigator. For symptomatic Adverse Events (AEs) the following definitions were applied. Mild = AE did not limit usual activities; subject may have experienced slight discomfort. Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities; subject may have experienced significant discomfort. Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may have experienced intolerable discomfort/pain. Relationship to Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Unlikely = Slight, but remote, chance that AE was caused by IMP. Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by IMP. Probable = Most likely that AE was caused by IMP.
