during a stabilization period. This trial consists of two distinct periods; an open label
treatment period, which consists of two parts, 8 weeks open label with movement to 10-12
weeks open label stabilization IF patients are in remission at end of 8 weeks (open label
for 18 to 20 weeks total) followed by a randomized blinded period for 24 to 26 weeks.
