narrowly missed significanceno p-value reported
Narrowly missed significance on the primary endpoints is unlikely to be due to a high placebo response, as the placebo rate was in line with clinical trials of other approved drugs for the treatment of DS. 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 However, as mentioned above, the observed placebo response in this trial was higher than in the phase 2 study.
