Arm Description

AIN457 will be administered intravenously. Approximately 65 patients will be randomized to AIN457 low dose in Stage 1. An additional 40 patients may be randomized to this group if it is one of the two selected dose groups to be expanded for Stage 2 following an Interim Analysis.

Matching placebo will be administered intravenously. Approximately 105 patients will be randomized to placebo (65 in Stage 1 and 40 in Stage 2).
