  • * Adverse events occurring in at least 10% of all patients.

  • Percentages of adverse event frequencies are calculated as proportions of all patients in specified treatment group (=N).

  • Percentages of adverse event intensities and outcomes are based on total number of events in specified treatment group.

  • %, percentages; n, number of events in specified category; N, number of patients in specified treatment group.
