PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Predose, and 24, 48, 72, 96, and 168 hours postdose at 12 weeks

Population: There were 15 evaluable participants (20 participants completed the full 12 weeks of treatment without any significant dose modification but for 5 participants CL/F could not be reported because t1/2 could not be accurately determined).

CL/F was defined apparent clearance - the volume of plasma in the vascular compartment cleared of drug per unit of time and per kilogram of body weight by the processes of metabolism and excretion.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Entire study duration (up to 5 years)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence or unfavorable and unintended sign in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product, biologic (at any dose), or medical device, whether or not considered related to the use of that product.
