Primary outcome measure(s)
Incidence and Number of Adverse Events (AEs) — up to 29 weeks An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participants or clinical trial participants administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The incidence and number of participants who experience an AE will be reported.
