Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat ConvenientDay 11Participant reported outcome questionnaire was the assessment of participant's convenience with drug treatment based on following categories: very convenient or somewhat convenient and not convenient or not at all convenient. Value of 1 was reported if participant answered 'very convenient' or 'somewhat convenient' and 0 if participant answered 'not convenient' or 'not at all convenient'.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment RegimenDay 11Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed).
Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment RegimenDay 11Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed). Value of 1 was reported if percent compliance equals to 100, and 0 if percent compliance was non-missing and less than 100.

Primary

Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient

Participant reported outcome questionnaire was the assessment of participant's convenience with drug treatment based on following categories: very convenient or somewhat convenient and not convenient or not at all convenient. Value of 1 was reported if participant answered 'very convenient' or 'somewhat convenient' and 0 if participant answered 'not convenient' or 'not at all convenient'.

Time frame: Day 11

Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation. 'N' signifies number of participants with non-missing data. Missing observations were not imputed.
