简要总结

The study is a randomized, double-blind, two-arm, placebo-controlled clinical study. NLT 78 individuals will be screened, and considering a screening failure rate of 20%, approximately 64 will be randomized in a ratio of 1:1 to receive either active or placebo and will be assigned a unique randomization code. After accounting for a dropout/withdrawal rate of 20%, there will be NLT 50 individuals who will complete the study
