  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) up to 28 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation [Up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)]

      An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAE are defined as AEs with onset during the treatment period or that are a consequence of a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline.

    2. Number of Participants With Death up to 28 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation [Up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)]

      Number of participants with deaths up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation were reported.

    3. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs) up to 28 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation [Up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)]

      An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAE are defined as AEs with onset during the treatment period or that are a consequence of a pre-existing condition that has worsened since baseline. A SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly; medically significant, or requires intervention to prevent at least one of the outcomes listed above.

    4. Number of Participants With AEs Leading to Permanent Discontinuation of Study Treatment [Up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to12 years)]

      Number of participants with AEs leading to permanent discontinuation of study treatment were reported. An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

    5. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Abnormal Liver Tests up to 28 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation [Up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation (Up to12 years)]

      Number of participants with treatment-emergent abnormal liver tests: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) greater than (>) 3*upper limit of normal (ULN) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >3* ULN, ALT >5* ULN or AST >5*ULN, ALT >8*ULN or AST >8*ULN, total bilirubin (TBIL) >2*ULN, ALT >3*ULN or AST >3*ULN and TBIL >2*ULN at any time were reported.

    6. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Hemoglobin Abnormality up to 28 Days After Study Treatment Discontinuation [Up to 28 days after treatment discontinuation (Up to 12 years)]

      Number of participants with treatment-emergent hemoglobin (HGB) abnormality up to 28 days after study treatment discontinuation were reported. Participants assessed for different categories of HGB were <=80 grams/Liter (g/L), <=100g/L, decrease from baseline >=20 g/L, and decrease from baseline >=50 g/L.

    Limitations/Caveats

    The limitation of the open-label study design was the open label nature of the trial due to which the number of participants decreased over time to the extent that 10 percent (%) and 2.4% of participants (N=550) remained in the study at Years 7 and 9, respectively.
