About this trial
This is a conventional efficacy trial to validate the results from previous clinical trials for younger children; the 12-month efficacy results will be used to predict the 3-year treatment efficacy.
This is a randomized, controlled (1:1), multisite, subject- and observer-masked, 2-arm parallel group study.
