Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary safety endpoints will consist of: • Incidence and proportion of incidence between treatment arms of adverse events of specific interest (AESI) and injection-related AE • Incidence of serious adverse events (SAEs) including SAEs related or probably related to the treatment • Vital signs and physical examination • Safety laboratory values of hematology, blood chemistry, and urinalysis • Local tolerability (injection site reaction)","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Safety measured by incidence and proportion between treatment arms of AESIs and injection-related AEs; incidence of SAEs (including related/probably related); monitoring vital signs and physical examinations; laboratory tests (hematology, blood chemistry, urinalysis); assessment of local tolerability (injection site reaction)."}
