  1. *p values were calculated using Poisson regression analysis that accounted for all events and different follow-up duration for each participant
  2. +DRE term including 2 PTs, both under the same SOC
  3. Of note, drug-related SAEs in the placebo arm were assessed as such by the investigator before the unblinding of the study
