The estimated maximum study duration for the first randomized participant was approximately 204 weeks (± 14 days), with a median follow-up over all participants of approximately 91 weeks, broken down as follows:
* placebo-run-in period: 7 days (+ 3 days)
* double-blind study treatment period: 203 weeks (± 14 days) (with about a 37 months of recruitment period)
* post-treatment follow-up period: 3 days (± 1 day)
All participants were followed from randomization until the end of study, which should occur when the last randomized participant had been followed for approximately 10 months. The actual end date of the study was "event driven" and the study end when there were approximately 844 positively-adjudicated primary cardiovascular outcome events.
