| E.5 End points |
| E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
| Safety assessments include (serious) adverse events, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs measurements including growth, physical examinations with Tanner Staging, ECGs, cognition tests and monitoring of extrapyramidal and depressive symptoms. Safety will follow a Tiered approach: Certain safety parameters of special interest are identified a priori (Tier 1 - prespecified safety endpoints), others will be considered Tier 2 (commonly occuring safety endpoints) or Tier 3 (descriptive safety endpoints). |
