Trial design
Randomised, placebo prefilled syringes (barzolvolimab vehicle containing 0 mg/ml barzolvolimab) administered q4w during the 24-week placebo-controlled treatment phase; active arms: barzolvolimab sc 150 mg every 4 weeks (q4w) following an initial loading dose of 300 mg, and barzolvolimab 300 mg every 8 weeks (q8w) following an initial loading dose of 450 mg., adaptive Phase III trial in Hungary, Croatia, Bulgaria and others.
