Phase 3 is the mirror of the second phase; each patient receives the active therapy or the corresponding placebo, depending on phase 2 after a 2-week washout period. Safety monitoring is evaluated at a halfway time point for each treatment arm. A safety period of 4 weeks ends the study. bid, twice daily.
