ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercent Change From Baseline in High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein (Hs-CRP) LevelsBaseline (average of the hs-CRP value prior to randomization and day 1), week 13Percent change from baseline in hs-CRP levels at week 13 are presented.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in Serum Amyloid A (SAA)Baseline (average of the values at week -1 and day 1), week 13Percent change from baseline in SAA at week 13 are presented.
SecondaryPercent Change From Baseline in FibrinogenBaseline (day 1), week 13Percent change from baseline in fibrinogen at week 13 are presented.
Secondary
Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment Emergent Serious AEs (TESAEs), Severe Hematologic AEs, Severe Non-hematologic AEs, and AEs Leading to Drug Discontinuation
From week 0 to week 32
An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. TEAEs are defined as AEs that initiated or worsened on or after the date of first dose of study drug up to the end of safety-follow-up. A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, or is life-threatening, or requires inpatient hospitalization or causes prolongation of existing hospitalization results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, or may have caused a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or requires intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. TEAEs that met any of these criteria were considered severe hematologic AEs: grade 3 neutropenia, grade 3 anemia, grade 3 leukopenia, grade 3 lymphopenia, grade 3 eosinophilia, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Major Bleeding EventsFrom week 0 to week 32
Bleeding events were classified using the TIMI bleeding classification as follows: 1) major: intracranial hemorrhage or a \>=5 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or a \>=15 percent (%) absolute decrease in the hematocrit; 2) minor: (a) observed blood loss: \>=3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=10% decrease in the hematocrit. (b) no observed blood loss: \>=4 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \>=12% decrease in the hematocrit; 3) minimal: any clinically overt sign of hemorrhage (including imaging) that was associated with a \< 3 g/dL decrease in the hemoglobin concentration or \<9% decrease in the hematocrit.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)From week 0 to week 32
An AE was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom or disease temporally associated with the use of a product, whether or not considered related to the product. AESI included serious infections, malignancies, anaphylaxis occurring at any time, even if considered unrelated to the study drug, gastrointestinal perforations, hypersensitivity reaction during investigational product (IP) administration, neutrophils per cubic millimeter (500/mm\^3) (severe) or neutrophils \<1000/mm\^3 (severe) with evidence of concurrent infection, severe injection-related reactions, thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<50,000/mm\^3 (severe)) or platelet count \<75,000/mm\^3 (moderate) with evidence of concurrent TIMI major bleeding.
SecondaryChange in Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP)Baseline (week 1), week 32Change from baseline in systolic blood pressure at week 32 are presented.
SecondaryChange in Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP)Baseline (week 1), week 32Change from baseline in diastolic blood pressure at week 32 are presented.
SecondaryChange in Respiratory RateBaseline (week 1), week 32Change from baseline in respiratory rate at week 32 are presented.
SecondaryChange in Body Mass Index (BMI)Baseline (week 1), week 24Change from baseline in BMI at week 24 are presented.
