Brief Summary

This is a randomized, vehicle controlled, active comparator, parallel group, study with a total duration of 24 weeks including screening and follow-up. Study drug is applied topically for 2 cycles of 4 week treatment, separated by 4 weeks off-treatment. Assessors of study endpoints are blinded to treatment allocation.
