Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of various doses of VI-0521 compared to both placebo, and the single-agent components that comprise each combination dose. This study will provide confirmatory data to demonstrate that doses of VI-0521 have efficacy that is greater than placebo and each of the single-agent components that comprise the combination dose.
