  1. # Last visit uses data obtained at the last visit for each patient : this may be at 12 months, 6 months or before this time. Mean values include patients who completed and who did not complete 12 months of treatment; the latter patients are shown in italics. Statistics are not used from this Table as the pre-planned analysis was on longitudinal data shown in the figures.
  2. Comb (Combination) = DFP + DFO. Mono (monotherapy) = DFO alone. SD = standard deviation of the mean. nd = not done. SC = subcutaneous, IV = intravenous.
