Baseline characteristics

A total of 1100 subjects were randomized in the study; of these 27 subjects did not received the dose (Test=8, Reference=10, Placebo=9) and were excluded from the safety population randomized. Therefore the overall number of subjects in the Baseline Participants module is not consistent with any of the rows of the Participant Flow module.
