Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical study is designed as a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design, prospective, phase II clinical trial.

An eligible subject who meets inclusion and exclusion criteria is randomly assigned to three groups: study group 1 (GV1001 0.56 mg), study group 2 (GV1001 1.12 mg) or placebo group. A randomized subject is administered either GV1001 or placebo in a total of 14 times and will be evaluated for the efficacy and safety at week of 24.

Detailed Description
