  1. The baseline period for efficacy endpoints is defined as the period between Week − 4 and the day prior to study Day 1
  2. If multiple races have been reported for a patient, the patient was categorised as multiple and in each selected race category. Five patients were identified as multiple races (Asian and White). Asian subgroups were not all-inclusive. The other races were counted only under Asian
  3. BMI Body mass index, SD Standard deviation
  4. a Reflects the randomisation strata. It might be different from the actual value at baseline
  5. b Patients are both white and Asian
  6. c Data for BMI missing for one patient
