  • * Median of the individual values for (baseline TSS)/(disease duration since diagnosis). Values for the intention-to-treat cohorts are as reported11. Week 26 and Week 104 represent the cohorts of patients who completed 26 or 104 weeks of treatment, respectively. Values are mean (standard deviation) unless specified as n (%) or as median.
