- PRQLQ overall score showed statistical significant differences between RUP and placebo at 4 weeks (p=0.01) and 6 weeks (p<0.05). Adverse events were scarce in both treatment groups throughout the study. Somnolence was reported with a very low incidence (1.4% RUP) and no serious adverse events were reported.
