Fig 1 Trial design. Subjects were asked to follow a 2-step updosing regimen at the beginning of the treatment period. The electronic diary collected 14 days of data during the run-in period and 5 times after updosing until the end of the primary evaluation period comprising the last 8 weeks of the treatment period. Black boxes represent electronic diary periods.
