The full analysis set population included all the patients who had undergone randomisation and had completed efficacy assessment at least once after the baseline.
The least squares men changes from baseline between the ubiquinol and the placebo groups at week 48 were estimated using a mixed model for repeated measures. Treatment group, visit, and treatment-by-visit interaction were included as fixed effects and with adjustment for the baseline value of each endpoint, presence of the V393A variants in COQ2, and disease subtype (MSA-C or MSA-P). There was no imputation of missing data for the primary efficacy outcome or secondary efficacy outcome. The results for secondary efficacy outcomes were not corrected for multiple comparison.
Parameters were converged by the covariance structure AR (1) with random effects.
Parameters were converged by the covariance structure UN with no random effects.
