Outcome Measures

Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percent of Participants With a Serious Drug-related Adverse Event (AE) [ Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug until the patient experiences disease progression, withdraws consent, or develops unacceptable toxicity (from Day 1 up to 4 years and 9 months) ]

    A serious adverse event (SAE) was any AE occurring at any dose that resulted in death, was life-threatening, resulted in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a cancer, or was an overdose.

    A drug-related SAE was one that was thought to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the study drug.
