Patients will be hospitalized for up to 5 days and the study duration will be 30 days. Results will be used to inform the study design characteristics for Phase III, including sample size. Phase III: The same inclusion/exclusion requirements, dosing schedule, hospitalization stay and outpatient visits as in Phase II with additional visits scheduled at Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365. Study duration will be 365 days.
