Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: ME-401
In the first 2 cycles (1 cycle is 28 days), subjects will be administered 60 mg of ME-401 orally once a day on a continuous schedule (CS). After that, subjects will be administered 60 mg of ME-401 orally once a day for the first 7 days, followed by rest for 21 days on an intermittent schedule (IS).
