a

All patients received injections every 2 weeks, with those in the every-4-week groups receiving placebo in between active treatments.

b

Attack rates are model-based mean attacks per month, defined as 4 weeks.

c

Results are from a Poisson regression model accounting for overdispersion; treatment group and normalized baseline attack rate were fixed effects. The logarithm of time (days) each patient was observed during the treatment period was an offset variable. All P values (Wald test) reported vs placebo.

d

Estimated from a nonlinear function of the model parameters. All P values (Wald test) reported vs placebo.

e

P value adjusted for multiple testing.
