    The measurement is for percentage of patients who showed improvement

    Measured: 90 days post treatment

  2. Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    The rate of adverse events will be assessed throughout the duration of the study

    Measured: 90 days post treatment
