Participant Flow

This was a prospective, single-arm, open-label, uncontrolled, multi-centre, international trial. Whilst 542 patients were enrolled, 502 entered the study. Since one patient refused to take study medication, only 501 patients were treated. The Full analysis set (FAS) consisted of 494 patients and this is the basis of most data presentations.
