Participant Flow

Enrolled participants were divided into 2 strata: higher body mass index (BMI) (27 kg/m\^2≤BMI\<41 kg/m\^2) and lower BMI (20 kg/m\^2≤BMI\<27 kg/m\^2) prior to being randomly assigned study treatment. Data from High BMI groups were to be utilized in the primary and secondary analyses; data from low BMI groups were to be utilized in exploratory analyses.

Population: All Patients as Treated (ApaT) population, defined as all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of double-blind study therapy.

An AE is 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 product, 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, is also an AE. A clinical AE was an AE reported as a result of a clinical examination.
