PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1 predose) at predefined time points (up to Day 140)

Population: The Pharmacokinetic Set (PKS) was a subset of the SS, consisted of those study participants that received at least 1 total dose of IMP and had at least 1 observable pharmacokinetic measurement and who had no important protocol deviations affecting pharmacokinetics (PK) during the whole study phase. Number of participants analyzed included those participants who were evaluable for the assessment.

Population: The SS consisted of all study participants who randomized and received full or partial IMP according to the treatment the study participants actually received.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product. TEAEs are defined as AEs not present prior to the administration of IMP or any unresolved event already present before administration of IMP that worsens in intensity following exposure to study treatment.

A SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: a. Results in death, b. Is life-threatening, c. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, d. Results in persistent disability/incapacity, e. Is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect, f. Is an important medical event which based on appropriate medical judgment, jeopardized the study participant and required medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the above.
