Investigators recorded AEs during each participant interaction. Symptoms were evaluated by the Investigator using the CTCAE version 5.0. This system grades AEs on a 1 to 5 scale: Grades 1 and 2 indicate mild to moderate events; Grade 3 denotes severe events; Grades 4 and 5 signify life-threatening or fatal outcomes. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as any event that either occurs after the initiation of study intervention, having been absent at baseline, or, if present at baseline, appears to have worsened in severity or frequency, regardless of its relation to the intervention. Adverse events deemed 'Possibly', 'Probably', or 'Definitely' related to the intervention were labeled as treatment-related adverse events (TRAE).
