All treated patients were included in the safety analysis. All adverse events occurring during the study or within 14 days of study discontinuation through 6-May-2009 (the day when the last patient remaining in the study had their 96-week assessment) were counted. The frequencies of adverse events were not adjusted for the duration of follow-up.

Determined by investigator to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to any drug in the study regimen.

Present in ≥2% of either treatment group.
