A serious adverse event (SAE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death, life- threatening, required initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, congenital anomaly/birth defect, or considered as medically important event. Any TEAE included participants with both serious and non-serious AEs.
