Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (10)
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) by Weight Bracket
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence (e.g. any unfavorable and unintended sign \[including abnormal laboratory findings\], symptom or disease) in a clinical investigation participant after providing written informed consent for participation in the study.
Up to Month 12
Number of Participants With Important Identified and Important Potential Risks (Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)) by Risk Name and Weight Bracket
Important identified and important potential risks included the following AESIs: Hepatotoxicity, Thrombocytopenia, Cardiac adverse events, Dorsal root ganglia toxicity and Thrombotic microangiopathy. These were assessed by the investigator.
Up to Month 12
Summary of Participants Meeting Criteria for Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Values by Weight Bracket - Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure
Change from baseline in vital signs measurements - systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg). Systolic Blood Pressure-Low:\<=5th percentile of the age(Any Age), High:\>=90th percentile of the age, gender, and height group (\<18 yrs). Diastolic Blood Pressure-High:\>=90th percentile of the age, gender, and height group(\<18 yrs).
12 months
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Diastolic Blood Pressure (mmHg)
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Respiratory Rate (Breaths/Min)
Change from baseline in vital signs measurements - Respiratory Rate (breaths/min)
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Pulse Rate (Beats/Min)
Change from baseline in vital signs measurements - Pulse Rate (beats/min
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
Summary of Participants Meeting Criteria for Potentially Clinically Significant Vital Sign Values by Weight Bracket - Temperature
Change from baseline in vital signs measurements - temperature (degrees Celsius) Temperature-Low:\<=35ºC(Any Age),High:\>=38.4ºC(\<18 yrs).
12 months
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Temperature (Degrees Celsius)
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
Change From Baseline in Vital Signs Measurements - Oxygen Saturation Level
Change from baseline in vital signs measurements - oxygen saturation level (%). Oxygen saturation is the fraction of oxygen-saturated hemoglobin relative to total hemoglobin (unsaturated+saturated) in the blood and then multiplied by 100.
Baseline, Days 2 and 3, Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 26, 39 and 52
