6. The patient is willing and able to attend study appointments within the specified time windows.
7. The patient is judged to benefit from 52-week continuation treatment with Lu AA21004 according to the clinical opinion of the investigator.

5. The patient has a moderate or severe ongoing adverse event related to study medication from the lead-inStudy 13267A considered of potential safety risk by the investigator.
6. The patient takes or has taken any disallowed recent or concomitant medication, specified in Appendix II - Or it is anticipated that the patient will require treatment with at least one of the disallowed concomitant medications during the study.
7. The patient has a disease or takes medication that could, in the investigator’s opinion, interfere with the assessments of safety, tolerability, or efficacy, or interfere with the conduct or interpretation of the study.
8. The patient has clinically significant abnormal vital signs at the Completion Visit (Visit 7, end of Week 8)of the lead-in Study 13267A considered of potential safety risk by the investigator.
9. The patient has one or more laboratory values outside the reference range, based on the blood or urine samples taken at the Completion Visit (Visit 7, end of Week 8) of the lead-in Study 13267A, that are, in the investigator’s opinion, of potential risk to the patient’s safety, or the patient has any of the following values at the Completion Visit (Visit 7, end of Week 8) of the lead-in Study 13267A:
- a serum creatinine value >1.5 times the upper limit of the reference range
