- Percentage of Patients to Experience at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) [ Time Frame: Up to study Week 56 ± 3 days ]TEAEs were coded Version 16.0 of the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA)
- Percentage of Patients to Experience Any Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Post-baseline Change in Clinical Laboratory Values for Hematology, Chemistry or Urinalysis at the End of the Study [ Time Frame: Up to study Week 52 ]
<0.85 x lower limit of normal (LLN) or > 1.15 upper limit of normal (ULN) for hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cell, platelet, white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts >1.15 × ULN for eosinophil, basophil and monocyte counts
>1.15 x ULN for aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma glutamyl transferase, total bilirubin, creatinine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, uric acid, total cholesterol, triglycerides <0.85 x LLN or >1.15 ULN for fasting glucose, calcium, phosphorus, total protein and albumin <0.95 x LLN or >1.05 x ULN for sodium, potassium and chloride
Urinary blood, ketones or pH <0.85 x LLN or > 1.15 ULN
- Percentage of Patients to Experience a Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Change in Pulse Rate, Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Up to study Week 56 ± 3 days ]Systolic BP ≥180 mmHg and increase ≥20 mmHg from baseline or ≤90 mmHg and decrease ≥20 mmHg from baseline; Diastolic BP ≥105 mmHg and increase ≥15 mmHg from baseline or ≤50 mmHg and decrease ≥15 mmHg from baseline; Pulse rate ≥ 110 bpm and increase ≥ 15% from baseline or ≤ 50 bpm and decrease ≥15% from baseline
