Population: Safety Population: All patients enrolled in the study were included for safety analyses.

Intensity determined. Mild = AE did not limit usual activities; subject may have experienced slight discomfort. Moderate = AE resulted in some limitation of usual activities; subject may have experienced significant discomfort. Severe = AE resulted in an inability to carry out usual activities; subject may have experienced intolerable discomfort/pain. Relationship to Investigational Medicinal Products (IMP) Unassessable/Unclassified = Insufficient information to be able to make an assessment Conditional/ Unclassified = Insufficient information to make an assessment at present Unrelated = No possibility that the AE was caused by the IMP Unlikely = Slight, but remote, chance that the AE was caused by the IMP, but the balance of judgment was that it was most likely not due to the IMP. Possible = Reasonable suspicion that the AE was caused by the IMP Probable = Most likely that the AE was caused by the IMP Certain = AE was definitely caused by the IMP
