PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to Week 48

Population: Treated participants. Number of participants analyzed is those with baseline and post-baseline DEXA data. Last post-baseline observation carried forward (LOCF) method was used if the Week 48 limb fat value was missing.

Limb fat was measured by DEXA. Change = Week 48 value minus baseline value.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 72 weeks

Population: Treated participants.

Participants with treatment-emergent adverse events were analyzed. Adverse events were defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject administered a medicinal product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with study treatment, and were categorized using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) Version 11. Treatment-emergent adverse events were events that met one of the following criteria: * Began or worsened in severity or relationship to study drug, on or after the date of the first dose of study drug and on or before the date of the last dose of study drug plus 30 days. * Had no recorded start date.
