GPT and Thrombocytopenia: When assessing the onset of adverse events in each group by grade, the incidence of grade 1 thrombocytopaenia was higher in group B as compared to that in group C, while for grade 2, the incidence was higher in group A as compared to that in groups B and C. No significant association of severe adverse events (≥grade 3) with leucocyte, neutrophil and red blood cell counts, haemoglobin levels (Table 3) and elevated AST and ALT was observed between the three groups (Table 4).
