Active Comparator: CTAP101 30 μg capsules
1 CTAP101 30 μg capsule daily at bedtime for 12 weeks, with a possible increase to 2 CTAP101 30 μg capsules daily at bedtime for study duration, if needed (26 weeks total). Subjects not requiring a dose increase after 12 weeks would receive 1 CTAP101 30 μg capsule and one sugar pill (to CTAP101 30 μg capsule) for weeks 13-26.
