Participant Flow

This study was conducted at 103 sites (100/103 randomised patients), 10 sites in the Czech Republic, 5 in France, 17 in Germany, 13 in Hungary, 3 in Italy, 1 in Peru, 21 in Poland, 10 in the Russian Federation, 5 in Spain, 13 in South Africa and 5 in the Ukraine. The first patient was screened in Oct 2009 and the last patient visit was in Nov 2010.

Patients fulfilling inclusion/exclusion criteria at the time of the Screening Visit were entered into a run-in period of 14±3 days to assess patient's disease stability.
