The safety of Pentostam (SSG) treatment was evaluated through the daily assessment of AEs during treatment. Additionally, clinical laboratory tests including serum chemistry (glucose, electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen [BUN], creatinine, alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase [ALK], amylase, and lipase) and hematology (hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets, and white blood cells with differential); vital signs measurements; electrocardiograms (ECGs); and physical examinations were performed at screening and prior to Pentostam infusion on Days (± 2) 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 28 (Days 25 and 28 for patients with visceral or mucocutaneous leishmaniasis only). At the completion of Pentostam treatment, patients were encouraged to arrange follow-up at 2, 6, and 12 months after treatment; however, follow-up was not required.
