- Physicians' unblinded score assessment [three months after initiation of treatment compared to Baseline]
Physician will assess disease change on 5 points scale (0=no improvement, 1=0-25% improvement, 2=26-49% improvement, 3=50-74% improvement, 4= 75-100% improvement.
- Physicians' unblinded score assessment [six months after initiation of treatment compared to Baseline]
Physician will assess disease change on 5 points scale (0=no improvement, 1=0-25% improvement, 2=26-49% improvement, 3=50-74% improvement, 4= 75-100% improvement.
