E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
Pharmacokinetic (PK) Substudy
An optional PK substudy will be performed in a subset of subjects (approximately 30 subjects each in Cohort A and Cohort B) who provide a separate informed consent. In the PK substudy, the daily dose of study drug should be administered under supervision in the clinic (between Week 2 and Week 10 inclusive), and additional PK samples should be collected predose and at 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 hours post dose.
If a substudy PK sample is scheduled to be collected at the same time as a sparse PK sample, only one sample should be collected.
Genomic Substudy
An optional genomic substudy will be performed in all subjects who agree to participate and provide their additional specific consent. The genomic sample should be collected at the Day 1 visit, but may be collected at any time during the study. |
