Population: Safety population included all participants who received at least one dose of study intervention.

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of a study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death; was life threatening; required hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in disability/incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, abnormal pregnancy outcomes. SAEs are subset of AEs. AEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) coding system. The AE data presented below is of frequency threshold - 0%.
