a

AEs and serious AEs were coded using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (Med-DRA Version 19.1). Categories are groupings of clinically similar MedDRA preferred terms. On-treatment TEAEs defined as onset while receiving study treatment or within 7 days after the last dose; off-treatment AEs had onset more than 7 days after the last dose.

b

Insomnia was only sleep/dream-related adverse event reported off treatment.

c

Amnesia was only cognition-related adverse event reported off treatment.

d

No. is based on number of participants who were cognitively normal at baseline.
