E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Optional PBMC PK Substudy
PBMC collection will be performed at PBMC PK substudy sites that can perform PBMC processing. PBMC collection will occur at the Week 32 visit. For PK profiling in PBMCs, blood samples will be collected at 0 (≤ 30 mins pre-dose). Details of PBMC collection and processing will be documented in the PK and PBMC Manual. |
