Trial design
Randomised, placebo to mexiletine granules for prolonged-release oral suspension (matching placebo for 167 mg, 333 mg and 500 mg); trial is randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, active treatment arms receive mexiletine pr (once daily) and comparator arm receives matching placebo. Phase III trial in Belgium, Denmark, Germany and others.
