Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
The study was terminated before the 96-week efficacy analysis. Adverse event data were collected for the entire treatment period up to a maximum of Week 108, which defines the Overall Study period.
