Participant Flow

This was a multicentre, double blind, placebo controlled, 2-arm parallel group comparison (Phase 2) study, preceded by an open label pilot phase, in which six patients were to receive open label treatment with 2000mg DS102 (1000mg BID) within 30 minutes after a meal for 28 days.

A total of 126 participants were planned with actual enrolment in the study. 9 participants completed the open label pilot phase before the study was ended prematurely due to futility purposes.
