Experimental Treatment
Group I: BerotralstatExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Berotralstat administered once daily in 4 dose cohorts determined by participant weight. Cohorts 1 and 2 will enroll in parallel. After 4 participants from Cohort 1 and 2, with ≥ 2 subjects from Cohort 2, have reached Week 2, Cohort 3 will open for enrollment. Cohort 4 will open for enrollment, after ≥ 4 subjects in Cohort 3 have reached Week 2. Prior to dosing Cohort 3 and 4, available PK and safety data will be reviewed to confirm it is safe to proceed and the appropriate weight bands for each. BioCryst will notify sites when Cohorts 3 and 4 are open for enrollment.
