Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) and Severe AEs Primary · From first dose of study drug up to 28 days after last dose of study drug (maximum up to 11 months)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment. TEAE was an AE that occurred after initiation of study treatment that was not present at the time of treatment start or an AE that increased in severity after the initiation of medication, if the event was present at the time of treatment start emerges. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or considered medically significant: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant

Number of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Findings in Laboratory Test Parameters Through the Study Secondary · From baseline up to end of study/early termination (for a maximum duration of 11 months)

Laboratory parameters that were assessed included lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and potassium. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings were determined based on investigator's decision.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Vital Signs Through the Study Secondary · From baseline up to end of study/early termination (for a maximum duration of 11 months)

Absolute values and changes from baseline in supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, oral temperature, and pulse rate were planned to be summarized by treatment in accordance with the sponsor reporting standards. Clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings were those which were not associated with the underlying disease, unless judged by the investigator to be more severe than expected for the participant's condition.

Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Findings in Physical Examination Through the Study Secondary · From baseline up to end of study/early termination (for a maximum duration of 11 months)

A complete physical examination included cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal systems, and skin. Height and weight will also be measured and recorded as part of the anthropometric measurements collected. Anthropometric data was collected by appropriately trained individuals at the trial site and in accordance with the anthropometric measurement manual.

Sponsor's own description

All participants who completed the prior study to assess long-term safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy, and in the opinion of the investigator, continue to have a positive risk:benefit profile, will be offered to enroll in this open-label extension (OLE) study for up to an additional 24 months of treatment. Approximately 63 participants will be offered to continue at the previously received dose of Recifercept either Low Dose Medium Dose High Dose or at the therapeutic dose once it is identified. Participants will attend the clinic monthly for 24 months. Assessments include safety, blood sampling, physical examination, vital signs, anthropometric body measurements \& patient/caregiver quality of life questionnaires.
