Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Graded Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) at Week 24Primary· Week 24
Treatment-emergent AEs were defined as:
* Any AEs with an onset date on or after the study drug start date and no later than the study drug stop date + 3 days after permanent discontinuation of study drug;
* Any AEs with onset date on or after the study drug start date for those who have not permanently discontinued study drug;
* Any AEs leading to premature discontinuation of study drug.
The most severe graded AE from all tests was counted for each participant.

Change From Baseline in Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula (eGFRcg) in Participants With Moderate or Severe Renal Impairment and Hepatically Impaired Participants at Week 24Secondary· Baseline, Week 24
GFR is a measure of the rate at which blood is filtered by the kidney. Cockcroft-Gault is an equation (calculation) used to estimate GFR based on serum creatinine, weight, and gender. eGFRcg = (140 - age in years) x (body weight in kg) x (0.85 if female) divided by 72 x serum creatinine in mg/dL.
Moderate renal impairment= 30 mL/min ≤ eGFRCG ≤ 59 mL/min Severe renal impairment= 15 mL/min ≤ eGFRCG \< 30 mL/min Change from baseline was calculated as the value at Week 24 minus the value at Baseline.
