The score range for each scale and single-item measure is 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate a higher response level (i.e., better functioning, better QoL, worse symptoms).
Percentage of Participants With at Least One Adverse Events (AEs) From randomization and up to study final analysis data cut off on 28 September 2022. Percentage of participants with at least one adverse event.
