1

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MCI-186

Intervention Type DRUG

Two ampoules (60 mg) of MCI-186 injection are intravenously administered once a day for 10 days during 14 days, followed by 14 days observation period (first cycle). Then treatment (10 days' administration during 14 days ) - observation (14 days) cycle is repeated eight times.

2

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo of MCI-186

Intervention Type DRUG
