Further study details as provided by Karolinska Institutet:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in disease activity according to National Institute of Health criteria [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Change in disease activity as measured by histological examination [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Change in self-assessed disease activity and quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to 9 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Safety [ Time Frame: 21 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    Frequency of complications, infections and relapse
