Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at injection site. These were recorded by participants in an electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units. One measuring device unit= 0.5 centimeter (cm) and graded as mild: 2.5 to 5.0 cm, moderate: greater than (>) 5.0 to 10.0 cm, severe: >10.0 cm. Grade 4 indicated necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis for redness and necrosis for swelling Pain at injection site was graded as mild: did not interfere with daily activity, moderate: interfered with daily activity, severe: prevented daily activity. Grade 4 indicated emergency room visit or hospitalization.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs included both serious and all non-serious adverse events. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening (immediate risk of death); required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); congenital anomaly/birth defect; or that was considered as an important medical event. AEs included both SAEs and all Non-SAEs (except local and systemic events).
