Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Subjects will be sequentially allocated to one of 2 dose cohorts:
• Cohort 1 will receive 0.75 mg/kg of PPS
• Cohort 2 will receive 1.5 mg/kg of PPS
All subjects will receive PPS through subcutaneous injection from Day 1 to Week 72 (i.e., 72 weeks on PPS therapy). For Weeks 1 through 12, dosing will be weekly. From Weeks 14 through 72, dosing will be every other week. Intervention will be administered by a suitably qualified member of the study team, either a nurse or a doctor. Adherence to therapy will be recorded by the study team members.
Intervention code [1] 317217 0
Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
Safety and efficacy of both dose cohorts will be analysed as well as a comparison between the two cohorts.

0.75mg/kg will be the reference comparator
Control group
Dose comparison

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323342 0
