Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and TEAE Leading to Study Discontinuation
Time Frame: Up to 52 Weeks
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE was considered a TEAE if it occurred on or after the first dose of investigational product and was not present prior to the first dose, or it was present at the first dose but increased in severity during the trial. A serious AE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that met any of the following criteria: resulted in death; was life threatening; required or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; resulted in a congenital anomaly/birth defect in a neonate/infant born to a mother exposed to the trial drug or was considered a significant medical event by the investigator.
Secondary Outcomes
- Change From Baseline in Trunk Percent Fat at Week 52(Baseline main trial to week 52 (extension period))
- Change From Baseline in Trunk Fat Mass at Week 52(Baseline main trial to week 52 (extension period))
- Change From Baseline in Total Body Lean Mass at Week 52(Baseline main trial to week 52 (extension period))
