Hematological and biochemical laboratory results are defined as follows: \<parameter\>,\<grade at baseline\>,\<grade at visit\> (e.g. ALT, Grade 0, Grade 0), where Grade 0 = a non-missing parameter value for which grade could not be derived according to the grading scale and does not belong to Grade 1-4; Grade 1 = Mild; Grade 2 = Moderate; Grade 3 = Severe; Grade 4 = Potentially Life-Threatening. Grading following the FDA Guidance for Industry: Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (September 2007). Unknown = parameter value missing for the specified parameter.
