  • The preferred term, 'Cerebral haemorrhage' was classified in both Safety Risks 'Non-ocular haemorrhage' and 'Non-myocardial arterial thromboembolic events’. Each patient could experience more than one adverse event of special interest. Patients were counted only once in each row. Terms were coded using MedDRA dictionary, version 18.1.

  • *Consisted of all enrolled patients who signed the informed consent, received at least one dose of study drug and had at least one postbaseline safety assessment.

  • AE, adverse event; AESI, adverse event of special interest; MedDRA, Medical Dictionary for Drug Regulatory Activities; SOC, system organ class; TIA, transient ischaemic attack.
