n (n=537), which includes patients randomized who did not enter the maintenance phase of the study. During the dosing period under analysis, there was no difference in the incidence of serious adverse events between treatment groups. Potentially drug-related serious adverse events occurred in 1% of placebo patients, 2% of patients in the 150mg dosing group, 0% of patients in the 300mg dosing group and 1% of patients in the 500mg dosing group. There were no cases of drug-related "Torsades de Pointes", a well-characterized arrhythmia which is an occasional side effect of some current anti-arrhythmic drugs.
