2. The signs/ symptoms could be the result of a different adverse event/ medical condition and hence these must be assessed
3. IRRs related to/ occurring after Paclitaxel and Carboplatin are not considered AESIs. They must be recorded/ reported as
regular AEs and SAEs as per the routine ICH and other regulatory guidelines.
