a

Baseline descriptive statistics are based in observed data.

b

Descriptive statistics at week 8 of the trial and p values of differences in the randomized controlled trial are based on model-based estimates of the intent-to-treat analysis.

c

For CGI-I response, both estimated (n = 49) and observed (n = 41) data are provided.
