E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is the safety and tolerability of WVE-120102, as compared with placebo, as assessed by the number of patients with adverse events (AEs), severity of AEs, number of patients with serious AEs (SAEs), and the number of patients who withdraw due to AEs. |
