Eligibility
Recruits 104 paediatric patients.
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Female subjects who are pregnant or intend to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding, are within 3 months postpartum, or have a positive pregnancy test.
- Vulnerable Population
- Pediatric population (children aged 2 to <18 years) selected as vulnerable population. Consent must be provided by the subject's legal guardian; when appropriate the child/adolescent must provide assent. The protocol states voluntary written informed consent and, if appropriate, child/adolescent 'assent' are required and that HIPAA or patient protection authorization must be adhered to in accordance with institutional, local and national guidelines. Age-specific ICF/assent documents are included (assent forms for 6-12 and 13-17 years; parent/adult ICF).
