Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants Reporting Overall Flushing Events During the Overall Treatment Period, as Assessed by the Modified Flushing Severity Scale (MFSS)
Day 1 to Week 8

Participant-reported flushing side effect events during the treatment period recorded on the eDiary as assessed by MFSS. MFSS questionnaire measures the side effects related to flushing following drug administration. Flushing means redness, warmth, tingling or itching of the skin. This questionnaire relates only to the period of time since the investigational drug was administered and was to be completed within 10 hours of taking the study drug (2 times/day). Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (no flushing side effects) to 10 (extreme flushing side effects).

Percentage of Participants Reporting Overall Flushing Events During the Overall Treatment Period, as Assessed by the Modified Global Flushing Severity Scale (MGFSS)
Day 2 to Week 8

Participant-reported flushing events during the overall treatment period, recorded on the hand-held participant reporting device (eDiary) as assessed by MGFSS. The MGFSS measures the side effects related to flushing during the past 24 hours. Flushing means redness, warmth, tingling or itching of the skin. Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (no flushing side effects) to 10 (extreme flushing side effects). Day 1 data are not included in the analysis because MGFSS question refers to events reported in the 24 hours after the first dose on Day 1.

The MAGISS is a participant-reported questionnaire about side effects of the gastrointestinal system following drug administration, and is based on a 0- to 10-point scale, with 0 representing absence of symptoms and 10 representing the most severe symptoms. A participant was considered having overall GI side effect if he/she had a score of \>=1 for at least one of the GI side effects including nausea, diarrhea, upper abdominal pain, lower abdominal pain, vomiting, indigestion, constipation, bloating and flatulence.
