Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary endpoints relate to potential clinical significance of biomarkers in evaluating therapeutic efficacy. During follow-up and upon treatment levels and presence of markers will be evaluated and correlated with disease activity. In this way markers of treatment efficacy may be revealed. | — |
