All patients treated in the study following the 18-month treatment period are eligible to continue nizubaglustat in an open label extension study, this is when after the study ends, participants are invited to join an open-label extension study. Everyone receives the new drug, this allows researchers continue to monitor safety and effectiveness over a longer period.
