Participant Flow
Recruitment Details | A total of 339 participants were enrolled from 44 sites in the United States. |
Pre-assignment Details | PK review revealed that age-adjusted doses of 4 and 10 mg in 5-17 year olds were not equivalent to target exposure. For the Main Study Part, data was summarised by exposure ranges (tertiles) based on individual participants PK exposure at Week 12, estimated as the average plasma concentration since treatment start. To allow clear analysis by exposure tertiles, participants with dose adjustment were excluded from analysis by tertiles. |

PK Part & Main Part reported separately. 7 patients ("re-starters") are counted twice. PK review revealed age-adjusted doses of 4 & 10 mg in 5-17 year olds weren't equivalent to target exposure. For Main Study Part, data was summarised by exposure ranges (tertiles) based on individual patients PK exposure at Week 12, estimated as average plasma concentration since treatment start. To allow clear analysis by exposure tertiles, patients with dose adjustment were excluded from analysis by tertiles.
