Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event, Adverse Events With Severity, Adverse Events Leading to Discontinuation
Up to 1 year

An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product. AEs will be graded according to the 'National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events' (NCI CTCAE, v4.0). However Laboratory data will be summarized by grade using the NCI CTCAE, v4.0 toxicity grade.

Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event, Death and Cause of Death
Up to 1 year

Serious Adverse Event (SAEs) is defined as those events that were fatal or immediately life-threatening, and those events that resulted in hospitalization; prolonged an existing hospitalization; resulted in disability; or was a congenital anomaly. Number of participants who died and the cause of death are also recorded.

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

AE:any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease associated with use of study drug, regardless of relation to study drug. Pre-existing conditions that worsened and laboratory or clinical tests that resulted in change in treatment or discontinuation from study drug were reported as AEs. Serious AE: resulted in death, life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was congenital anomaly/birth defect or was medically significant. Grade-1:discomfort but no disruption of normal daily activity. Grade-2:discomfort sufficient to reduce or affect daily activity,no intervention indicated.Grade-3:inability to perform normal daily activity,intervention indicated.Grade-4:immediate threat to life or leading to permanent mental or physical condition that prevented performing normal daily activities.Grade 5: death.
