Plans for treatment or care after the subject has ended the participation in the trial (if it is different from the expected normal treatment of that condition)

At the end of a subject's time in the study, subjects will receive treatment per Investigator's clinical judgment and in accordance with local standard of care practice. Subjects who complete the study will have a follow up visit approximately 30 days after the last administration of study drug to obtain information on any new or ongoing adverse events.

Una volta conclusa la partecipazione del soggetto allo studio, i soggetti riceveranno il trattamento in base al giudizio clinico dello sperimentatore e in accordo agli standard di cura locali. I soggetti che avranno completato lo studio saranno sottoposti a una visita di follow-up circa 30 giorni dopo l’ultima somministrazione del medicinale sperimentale al fine di ottenere informazioni riguardo eventuali eventi avversi di nuova insorgenza o preesistenti.
