- Gastrointestinal and bleeding-related adverse events were more frequent with ifetroban but predominantly mild; no serious adverse events were attributed to treatment.
- The trial was not designed to establish efficacy; limited disease progression and its small size prevented conclusions about treatment benefits.

- The company plans to submit the clinical study report to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
