排除标准

  • Participants with following medical conditions are excluded from the study; Findings in the clinical examination and/or laboratory safety examination on the treatment day, that in the opinion of the Investigator constitute a risk or a contraindication for the child's participation in the study or that could interfere with the study objectives, conduct or evaluation.
