All values are presented as mean ± SEM. Differences between the placebo and OLE were compared with an unstructured linear mixed model with correction for baseline values. p1 and p2 represent the p values for the difference in estimated means after 4 and 8 weeks of intervention, respectively, between placebo and OLE, corrected for baseline differences
