  1. Legend: The completeness of the main laboratory data was calculated for the three groups relative to the number of enrolled patients feasible for 'per protocol’ analysis. The sample size calculation takes a 50% rate of drop out or missing values into account. Considering the drop out rate < 10% at the current stage of the trial, a 60% rate of data completeness is acceptable. Critical rates of overall completeness are observed at visit 1 and visit 5 and relate mainly to the control group and to patients with neurological level T5 or below.
