This was a multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, participant- and investigator-blinded study.
The study consisted of a screening period up to 30 days; a treatment period of approximately 12 weeks with an end of treatment (EOT) visit on Day 85, which is one day after the last dose of DFV890 or placebo; a follow-up period of approximately 1 week; and a standard safety follow-up call approximately 30 days following the last dose. The overall study duration is approximately 21 weeks.
Participants were randomized to one of five treatment sequences. Based on the treatment sequence assignments, participants started on either a combination of MAS825 and placebo, DFV890 and placebo, or placebo and placebo on Day 1, and then, within each DFV890 treatment sequence, participants received up-titrating doses of DFV890 or placebo at the corresponding study visits. None of the treatment sequences included a combination of both active DFV890 and active MAS825.
