An AE was defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's products, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the SPONSOR's product was also an AE. The percentage of participants that experienced at least one AE was reported for each treatment arm.

All-Participants-as-Treated (APaT) population: all participants who took at least one dose of study medication, counted in the treatment group corresponding to the study treatment they actually received.
