Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs)
From Start of Study Treatment up to Day 19

An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs), defined as all AEs that start during study drug treatment (and up to 7 days after the last dose of the study drug) and were not seen at baseline, or were seen at baseline but increased in frequency and/or severity during study drug treatment (and up to 7 days after the last dose of study drug).

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Laboratory Abnormalities Recorded as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From Start of Study Treatment up to Day 19

An abnormal laboratory finding which required an action or intervention by the investigator, or a finding judged by the investigator to represent a change beyond the range of normal physiologic fluctuation were reported as an adverse event. Treatment-emergent were events between first dose of study drug and 7 days after the last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state. Number of participants with Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events for laboratory abnormalities were reported as clinically relevant laboratory changes.

Number of Participants With Vital Signs Abnormalities Recorded as Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From Start of Study Treatment up to Day 19

Vital sign assessments included systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature. Vital signs abnormalities reported as TEAEs were reported.

Number of Participants With Clinically Relevant Electrocardiogram (ECG) Abnormalities Recorded as Adverse Events (AEs)
From Start of Study Treatment up to Day 19

ECG included PR interval, QRS interval, QTcB interval, QTcF interval were considered as clinically significant ECG abnormalities.
