Population: Safety population consisted of all randomized participants who received the study treatment and were analyzed by treatment actually received. "n" in the category is the number of participants with data available at the given time-point.

The participant rated the change in their health status since enrollment using a 7-point scale where: +3=very much improved, +2=much improved, +1=minimally improved, 0=no change, -1=minimally worse, -2=much worse and -3=very much worse. Negative scores indicate worsening and positive scores indicate improvement.
