Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: All adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were collected and recorded for each patient from the day of signing the main study informed consent form until 30 days after the last dose of study treatment up to 28 months.. Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.
