- This Study Was Initiated With a Safety run-in Period to Evaluate Acceptability of Repeat-dose Safety. [ Time Frame: Weeks 14 & 30 ]KB003 was administered by intravenous (IV) infusion as a 600 mg dose at weeks 0, 2, 4, 8, and 12, with primary safety being evaluated at week 14 and a follow-up (end of study) safety assessment at week 30. Safety was evaluated by number of participants with treatment-emergent (TE) adverse events (AEs). (TE is defined as ocurring during the 14 week treatment and week 30 follow-up periods)
