ITT population is the same population as the safety population

AE adverse event, ITT intent-to-treat, SAE serious AE (defined as any AE or adverse reaction that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalisation or prolongation of existing hospitalisation, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly or birth defect), UTI urinary tract infection

aAE leading to withdrawal started during the titration period but the patient did not withdraw until the maintenance phase
