  6. description
    An adverse event (AE) is any noxious, unintended, or untoward medical occurrence that may appear or worsen in a participant during the course of a study. It may be a new intercurrent illness, a worsening concomitant illness, an injury, or any concomitant impairment of the participant's health, including laboratory test values, regardless of etiology. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in the frequency or intensity of a preexisting condition) should be considered an AE. Graded according to NCI CTCAE (Version 4.03) guidelines where grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe, grade 4 = life threatening, grade 5 = death.

    From first dose until 30 days after last dose of study drug (assessed for an average of approximately 55 weeks to a maximum of approximately 456 weeks)
  7. description
    A serious adverse event (SAE) is defined as any adverse event (AE) occurring at any dose that: * Results in death; * Is life-threatening (ie, in the opinion of the Investigator, the participant is at immediate risk of death from the AE); * Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization (hospitalization is defined as an inpatient admission, regardless of length of stay). * Results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (a substantial disruption of the participant's ability to conduct normal life functions); * Is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; * Constitutes an important medical event. Graded according to NCI CTCAE (Version 4) guidelines where grade 1 = mild, grade 2 = moderate, grade 3 = severe, grade 4 = life threatening, grade 5 = death.
