Mean values at baseline were based on the average of multiple measurements during the pretreatment period (week −4 to week 0).

p values represent the comparison of the percent changes between the combination group and the specified group by two-sample t-test (two-sided).

*

p < 0.05 for the within-group comparison by one sample t-test.
