  1. Biomarkers were included in the multivariable analysis if p < 0.10 in the univariate analyses. Hazard ratios are for high versus low biomarker levels. ∆ indicates the covariate is change in the biomarker at week 4; all other covariates are baseline biomarkers dichotomized at the median
  2. * p < 0.05 for the analysis
