An LAE is defined as any unfavorable \& unintended change in the chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of study product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. A CAE is defined similarly but also includes changes in structure or function of the body. Serious AEs are those occuring that result in one or more of the pre-specified outcome(s) that meet the criteria of seriousness, including death, life-threatening, significant disability, or hospitalization, etc. Drug-relatedness was determined by the investigator based on clinical judgement.
