Eligibility

Recruits 315 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
The study enrols pediatric participants (children) aged ≥2 years (populationOfTrialSubjects indicates paediatric and vulnerable population selected). Consent/assent is age-appropriate: parent(s)/legal guardian provide informed consent; assent is obtained from children per age group (age-specific assent/ICF documents are provided, e.g. ICFs/assents for 6-8 y, 9-12 y, 12-17 y). Study documentation includes age-specific information sheets/assent forms and materials in multiple country languages (documents available per country), and separate informed consent materials for pregnant partners and scouts where applicable.

Inclusion criteria

Clinically significant abnormalities on physical examination at Week 12 visit or any unresolved, clinically significant abnormality from results of ECGs (if applicable), safety laboratory assessments, or vital signs measurements recorded in the parent study that may increase the risk associated with study participation or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study, are exclusionary."}
