Data are shown as response rate (%)±SE unless otherwise noted; numbers in parentheses indicate p values unless otherwise noted. Missing responses were imputed as non-responses.

Some post hoc analyses are grouped with the related secondary endpoint for ease of reading.

*Statistically significant. P values for other comparisons are not multiplicity-controlled and are presented for informational purposes only.

†Post hoc analysis; no formal hypothesis testing was performed.
