Percentages were on the basis of the No. of patients in the ITT analysis set in that treatment arm. PY, patient yr at risk.

a

Included AEs with an onset date on or after the date of randomization and up to and including the EOS visit; or date of last contact or withdrawal of consent, if before the EOS visit.

b

Calculated as [No. of patients with AEs divided by (the total No. of days at risk for that AE across all patients in given group divided by 365.25)] × 100.
