Number of HES flares experienced by participants per year
The annualized rate of HES flares will be measured.
Time frame: Up to Week 52
Change in mean daily oral corticosteroids (OCS) dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) from Weeks 0 to 4 to Weeks 48 to 52
Change in mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) will be assessed.
Time frame: Weeks 0 to 4 and Weeks 48 to 52
Number of participants with >=50 percent (%) reduction in mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) from Weeks 0 to 4 compared with Weeks 48 to 52
Number of participants with \>=50% reduction in mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) will be assessed.
Time frame: Weeks 0 to 4 and Weeks 48 to 52
Number of participants achieving a mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) of <=7.5 milligrams (mg) during Weeks 48 to 52 in participants that are taking OCS at Baseline
Number of participants achieving a mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) of \<=7.5 mg will be assessed.
Time frame: Weeks 48 to 52
Number of participants achieving a mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) of <=7.5 mg during Weeks 48 to 52
Participants achieving mean daily OCS dose (prednisone/prednisolone or equivalent) of \<=7.5 mg will be evaluated.
Time frame: Weeks 48 to 52
Change from Baseline in fatigue severity based on Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) Item 3 (worst level of fatigue during past 24 hours) for Week 52
Item 3 of the BFI is a 11-point scale that measures fatigue (weariness, tiredness) ranging from 0 "no fatigue" to 10 "as bad as you can imagine".
