Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This Phase 2 study EPLA-0501-072 (A6141012) was conducted beginning 02 April 2003 and was prematurely terminated due to poor enrollment on 12 September 2003. There were no statistical analyses of efficacy conducted because the numbers of patients enrolled were insufficient for inferential analysis due to the poor enrollment. There were no serious adverse events or deaths reported during the study.
