Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body WeightBaseline and up to 4.5 years

This outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal values in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight during the trial. The table presents the number of participants with a normal baseline value and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value.

Liver Function Tests4.5 years

The figures present the number of participants who had abnormal (defined as above upper limit of normal range (ULN)) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, aspartate aminotransferase levels, and bilirubin levels plus the number of participants who had ALT increases \>3x ULN and ALT increases \>3x ULN with concurrently increased bilirubin \>1.5 ULN.
