Results

Posted Mar 7, 2016
Limitations and caveats
Terminated study underpowered due to low enrollment (n=1 patient). No analysis can be provided

Participant flow

The study was planned to have 4 groups of patients. In Group 1: the bioavailability of BVS857 following subcutaneous administration was planned. Groups 2-4 (Group 4 optional) different BVS857 doses were planned for safety, PK and efficacy assessments. Study was terminated due to low enrollment as only 1 patient was enrolled
